"Someone has to tell a family that their loved one has died. But what happens after that? Who tells the family what comes next, what decisions have to be made within hours? Who explains what happens to their loved one’s body, how to select a funeral home, what financial assistance may be available, what they will encounter within the criminal legal system? Who calls them tomorrow?"

This month's column with the Dorchester Reporter focuses on survivors, and the need for compassionate response beyond the death notification. Read now at the link in bio.
