- A Brief on Grief and Mourning
For more than a decade, I have been weaving the threads of personal finance, household organization, and end-of-life care into a tapestry of support for individuals and families.
My own story of loss is reflected in the reason I founded Coyne Management. At the age of 36, I was widowed with three young children when my late husband died of cancer. One of the many things I grew to understand in preparing for and navigating the overwhelming process of his death was the critical need for well-organized and readily accessible records during a time of crisis. This realization fueled my desire to assist others in being prepared, leading me to become a Daily Money Manager. In this role, I meticulously organized and managed financial, household, health and estate information often serving as a liaison between clients’ financial advisors, CPAs and estate attorneys. I developed streamlined systems to eliminate confusion, providing assurance that financial and personal information was organized, protected and under control.
In chaos, preparation cuts through confusion, leaving you with the mental space to concentrate on what truly matters — the people and moments that need your undivided attention.
Are you an organization or group?
In parallel, my commitment to support others extended to years of being a hospice and trauma response volunteer. I’m drawn to deeply personal connections with people and their life stories. My fascination with death and desire to help ease the process of dying prompted me to expand my services by becoming a licensed end-of-life educator and certified death doula. My aim is to encourage agency in dying, return to a more traditional, organic approach to handling death, and help people explore sustainable deathcare methods for our bodies and the earth.
The more information we acquire, the wiser our decisions. The more we learn, the less we fear. The more we face death, the better we live.
I’m passionate about end-of-life planning and education. My experiences in closely guiding people through life’s intricacies, from bank statements to end of life care, strongly emphasize the importance of preparedness and open conversations about life’s unpredictability and the certainty of death. With LifeTracker, I created a digital tool empowering individuals to organize their affairs. Through virtual and in person workshops, I help people uncover their hopes and fears surrounding death, clarify their core values and communicate their wishes.
