About the paperwork families suddenly face while trying to survive unimaginable loss. About life insurance claims, legal confusion, family conflict, delayed grief, and the invisible weight people carry while the world keeps moving around them.\nBut underneath all of it, this conversation is deeply human.\nStephanie shares the story of losing her younger sister as a child, what it looked like to put her own grief on pause while focusing on her mother, and how those experiences eventually transformed the way she practices law today.\nWe talk about:delayed and paused griefwhat grief does to families after lossthe overwhelming administrative side of deathlife insurance claims and denied benefitsfamily conflict after someone diesgrief ambushes and emotional shutdowncarrying love forward instead of staying frozenthe difference between surviving grief and drowning in itStephanie also shares what she’s learned sitting with grieving families every day and why being “seen” matters just as much as legal guidance.At its core, this episode is about learning how to move forward without leaving the people we love behind.\nConnect with Stephanie:\nWebsite: PrestridgeLaw.com\nResources: robertdelfave.comFree audio series: Not Alone — robertdelfave.com\nBook a free discovery call: robertdelfave.com\nThe Carried Forward Podcast is hosted by Robert DelFave, grief coach, David Kessler Certified Grief Educator, and author of The Other Side of This.\nNew episodes released regularly.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/xh6r9bmP-Q2YW1DwzXwZzCge0iLWk7RwlvORQ_Gtc2M/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9hODI0/OGE0NjQxMWVhMzlk/NjQ4YzIwNmE3N2Qz/ZjU1OC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
