Supporting Families Through Loss with Ron Gura, CEO & Co-Founder of Empathy

What do we do after we experience the loss of a loved one? There is immense grief and then there are the logistical tasks that need to be walked through. Where do we begin? How do we know what to do?

My guest this week is Ron Gura, he is the CEO and Co-Founder of Empathy. Empathy supports families through loss and provides both emotional and logistical support when they need it most. The Empathy app streamlines all of the end-of-life bureaucracy. Families are also supported by a dedicated care team and are given access to grief support 24/7.

Empathy was awarded Google Play's 2021 "Best App for Good", CB Insights' "Top Digital Health Companies of 2021" and one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies of 2022.

Ron shares about:

• The importance of bringing this conversation to light and having an open discussion about loss and bereavement
• Breaking the barrier and providing support to families that is accessible
• What families experience after the loss of a loved one
• Navigating the impact of bereavement after loss
• The high cost of loss- the financial, emotional and logistical toll
