“12 Legacy Building Conversations Every Family Should Start Today”
👉 https://go.inheritancetoincome.com/family-legacy-conversations
How do you mourn someone you love while managing everything they left behind?
When the funeral is over, the guests have gone home, and the flowers have faded, many families are left holding keys, documents, and decisions they were never prepared to make — often while still deep in grief.
In this episode of Inheritance to Income, Garrick Codrington Francis is joined by Mia Jones, a mental health nurse practitioner, certified life coach, and author, for a thoughtful conversation about what happens when grief and responsibility arrive at the same time.
Drawing from lived experience, clinical insight, and faith-aware reflection, this conversation explores the emotional cost of trying to “push through” loss while managing estates, inheritance decisions, and family expectations — and why unprocessed grief often shows up later as anxiety, burnout, or regret.
Rather than focusing on probate or paperwork, this episode centers people — and the quiet weight families carry when legacy conversations were delayed or never had at all.
This episode invites listeners to slow down, breathe, and consider how mourning and managing can coexist without harming long-term emotional health or family relationships.
This episode speaks directly to:
• Individuals navigating grief while handling inheritance or estate responsibilities
• Families managing loss without clear guidance or shared conversations
• Those who feel pressure to be “the strong one”
• Adult children inheriting responsibility without preparation
• Anyone trying to honor a loved one while still finding their footing
