Webinar: Planning for Your Future After Your Spouse or Partner Has Died
With Grief Specialist, Emma Gray
Thursday 27th November 2025, 7-8pm
When your partner dies, the emotional impact is overwhelming, but the practical realities that follow can also feel impossible to face. From sorting out paperwork to understanding wills, pensions and investments, even the simplest decisions can feel like too much when life has been turned upside down.
​
In this webinar, Emma Gray, military widow, counsellor and founder of Rainbow Hunting, will guide you through the essential steps to get organised and regain a sense of calm and control.
​
Emma knows this journey personally. After the death of her husband in 2016, she experienced immense grief while caring for two young daughters and managing the complex legal and financial changes that loss brings.
Today, she uses that experience, along with her professional expertise as a former legal professional and now a counsellor, to help others find clarity and confidence in uncertain times.
​
During this session, Emma will cover:
​
-
Foundations: Where to begin when life changes and the importance of looking after our basic needs
-
Legal Essentials: Wills, Power of Attorney and Probate
-
Financial & Practical Issues: Investments, pensions, insurances and record keeping
-
Digital Legacy: Managing online accounts, assets and our digital legacies
-
Emotional Documentation: Communicating funeral wishes, writing letters to loved ones and other ways of remembering
-
Keeping things up to date: How organisation supports mental health and brings calm in the chaos
Every time there is a big life change, these papers and plans may need updating, but getting started does not have to be overwhelming. Emma will share gentle, practical guidance to help you take the first steps.
