The Executor Help PodcastAuthor: David E. Edey
The podcast is filled with advice, tips, and many real-life examples demonstrating what can go wrong (and what can go right), depending on whether or not families plan accordingly in advance, communicate clearly with one another, and are willing to put petty and selfish differences aside. No one likes talking about death and inheritances before they absolutely have to, but as I have learned from personal experience, having these conversations earlier, rather than later, will save a lot of time and money, alleviate a ton of stress and ill-feeling, and ensure that the deceased's wishes are properly and efficiently carried out.

Why do we avoid talking about death?
Episode 12
Wednesday, 8 April, 2026
In this episode, David speaks with Valerie Oldfield, a death doula who helps families through serious illness, planning, and grief. They talk about why these conversations feel so hard to start—and what happens when we avoid them. Valerie shares simple ways to begin. Not in a heavy or overwhelming way, but through small, honest conversations. She also explains how planning ahead can be one of the most caring things you do for your family. A calm and practical conversation about fear, preparation, and making things easier for the people you love. For David's book, other resources and more visit www.davidedey.com
