SOUND FAMILIAR?
You have the heart for this work. What you're missing is a plan.
An After Loss Professional helps families manage the practical and administrative details that follow a loss, from closing accounts and organizing paperwork to coordinating agencies, belongings, and next steps.
It’s not the same as a death doula, estate attorney, or funeral director. This work begins after the loss, when families are left asking, “Where do we even start?”
With the right training, you can become the person who helps them find the answer.
This is where most people get stuck.
YOUR 4-STEP PLAN
A clear roadmap from the people who built this profession.
When we started, there was no guide. There wasn't even a name for what we did. We figured it out the hard way, and now we've turned what we learned into a simple sequence you can follow.
01
Foundations first
Your why, your ideal clients, your pitch, your referral partners and your business basics.
02
Next, legal
The documents that protect you and your clients from your very first engagement.
03
Tools and technology
The systems that keep sensitive information secure and keep you organized.
04
Repeatable client processes
The workflows that make every engagement thorough, from intake to handoff.
Families need this help more than ever.
Every year, more than 3 million people die in the U.S. Each one leaves behind someone facing a mountain of accounts, forms and phone calls, usually while grieving. Affairs are more complex, families live farther apart and more people are aging alone. Trained after loss professionals are the ones stepping in.

You're the organized, calm one everyone calls when things fall apart.
You want flexible work you can run on your own terms.
You're ready to leave a job that doesn't give meaning to your life.

A NOTE FROM US
We're Jasmine, Mollie, and Rachel. We each started doing this work after losing someone we loved — and discovering how alone families are in the weeks that follow. We built PALS to train the professionals those families need. This guide is exactly where we'd tell you to begin.
