  Episode #2

  Jason Arena Certified Probate and Trust Specialist and Realtor with Compass

  Sep 23, 202627 minS3

  What happens when grief and real estate intersect? In this episode of Guiding Grief , host Nicholas Welzenbach speaks with Jason Arena, a Certified Probate and Trust Specialist and Realtor with Compass, about the deeply emotional experience of navigating a loved one’s home and estate after a death. Jason’s perspective is shaped by both his professional experience and his personal journey as a caregiver. When his father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2017, and as he helped care for other family members, Jason began to recognize the complicated intersection between loss, family, and the practical decisions that follow a death. He realized he could offer more than simply helping people sell a home, he could support families through one of life's most difficult transitions. Jason and Nicholas explore the emotions connected to letting go of a family home, as well as the importance of preparation. The conversation includes an approachable discussion about trusts, why they can be valuable, and why families with real estate and multiple family members may want to consider planning ahead. This episode is a thoughtful look at the practical side of loss and the human emotions that are often inseparable from it.

  Julianne Halverson from Cancer CAREpoint

  Sep 9, 202632 minS3

  In this returning episode of Guiding Grief , host Nicholas Welzenbach welcomes back Juliann Halvorson, LMFT, for an organic and heartfelt conversation about grief, healing, vulnerability, and the many ways loss and change shape our lives. Juliann shares her work supporting patients and families in the cancer community through Cancer CAREpoint, an organization dedicated to providing holistic care, resources, and support. The conversation also explores Juliann’s work facilitating grief group therapy for Darling Fischer families and the power of coming together with others who understand. From learning to recognize our own grief to resisting the urge to compare our experiences, Juliann reminds us that vulnerability can create meaningful connection. Grief is not limited to death. It can emerge from any significant change in our physical, mental, or emotional lives and sometimes, it can be difficult to recognize while we are living through it. Most importantly, this episode offers a powerful reminder: it is never too late to begin your grieving process or your healing journey. By validating what we feel and giving ourselves permission to discover new ways forward, healing can begin wherever we are.
