“It would definitely have helped with the loss of my dad. … We were prepared with my dad but there were still a lot of decisions that had to be made. This app answers a lot of questions for you and lightens your load at your most difficult time in losing a loved one.”
“I wish that I had the assistance of AfterMatters when I lost my truly amazing friend Victor. In addition to the grief I was assigned to be the Executor of his Estate and the mountain high task list was causing me a lot of stress. I muddled through it but in retrospect I missed a few important things.”
“When Trinity passed away, Kristine and I were completely unprepared for everything that came next. Beyond the unimaginable grief, there were decisions, paperwork, accounts, legal and financial issues, and dozens of things we didn’t even know we needed to do. … I genuinely wish we’d had this when we lost Trinity. … I’m recommending it because I’ve stood where you’re standing, and I know how much something like this would have helped us.”
