When Davis Wilkinson was 14, his older brother Adam died from an overdose.
While grieving the loss of his brother, Davis watched his mother take on another burden few people talk about — the hours of paperwork, phone calls and frustration that begin after someone dies.
One memory stayed with him: listening as his mother struggled simply to cancel Adam's gym membership.
In this episode of The Executor Help Podcast, David talks with Davis about how that experience changed the direction of his life, why he later chose to work in a funeral home, and what he has learned from helping thousands of grieving families.
They also talk about why grief isn't something to fix, what grieving people really need from us, and why one of the greatest gifts people can give those they love may simply be their attention and time.
Davis is the founder of Heirloom, a U.S.-based company that helps families locate assets after someone dies.
