Logging Off: Life, Death, and Caretaking Our Digital Footprints

Original Air Date Wednesday, March 2, 2022

Are you one of the many people who stray away from talking about your death? If so, you may be making the grieving process more difficult for those you love. From the minutiae of notifying friends and extended family to logging off your myriad of internet accounts the people managing your affairs and assets after you die, have a big responsibility.

To put to rest which details are necessary for the death process and what information benefits the overseers of your estate most, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with four people in the estate planning space.

Abbey Schneiderman, Gene Newman, and Adam Seifer co-authored, In Case You Get Hit by a Bus: How to Organize Your Life Now. They discuss key information from the book and share personal stories of what can happen to the living after a death.

The Host of the Dying Kindness podcast, Cianna Stewart talks about trends in the industry of death, the emergence of death doulas, and the compounded grief little or no death planning can cause after death.
