Sarah Baldwin was standing in line for coffee with an urge to tap the stranger in front of her and say, "My mom died yesterday." Not because she wanted sympathy, but because of how lonely grief can feel, which was a feeling no one warned her about.

What if the way you grieve isn't wrong; it's just yours?

Sarah is the co-founder of Restfully, a trusted guide through the overwhelming logistics and emotions of end-of-life and grief. It's everything she wished she'd known when her mom was battling lung cancer and after she passed.

Drawing on 20 years in corporate finance and data analytics, she created the "grief persona framework" after noticing a pattern: there's friction in some families after a loved one's death because everyone grieves differently. Sarah explains each grief persona and how they each play a role in the overall grief process. She also tells Chandler why following your intuition is never the unsafe choice.
