In this episode of Live for Today, Plan for Tomorrow, I’m joined by Evie Cohen, a death educator with JADE (Jewish Assoc. for Death Education), for a heartfelt and eye-opening conversation about navigating loss and supporting loved ones through life’s most difficult moments.

Evie shares her expertise on what meaningful support looks like before, during, and after the death of a loved one. We discuss common misconceptions about grief, the importance of community, and the role that education plays in helping families move through these transitions with clarity, compassion, and confidence.

Together, Evie and I explore how emotional preparedness is just as essential to aging well as financial stability. Planning for the future isn’t only about protecting wealth, it’s about understanding the human experiences that shape our lives and relationships. My goal is to help build a community where older adults and their families can access trusted guidance on every aspect of aging, from financial security to emotional resilience.

Tune in to learn how greater understanding around death and grief can help us live more intentionally, support others more thoughtfully, and move through life with deeper peace of mind.
