A Taste of Financial Planning - Emma Gray - Grief, Preparation and Growing Life Around Loss

What happens when the person who planned everything for you dies at 38?

In this episode of A Taste of Financial Planning, we sit down with Emma Gray, founder of Rainbow Hunting, former wills and probate solicitor, and widow.

Over Dennis's Japanese black cod with miso, we talk about grief, preparation, and the emotional handrails that matter when life changes overnight.

We explore:

• What grief really feels like, physically as well as emotionally

• The "sadmin" no one prepares you for

• Why powers of attorney are not just for later life

• The balance between living fully now and planning responsibly for the future

• How financial planning can protect the people you love from chaos

Emma brings both professional expertise and lived experience to a conversation that is honest, practical and deeply human.

Because financial planning is never just about numbers. It is about people.
