Interview Series | Alex Plaumann @Judyswayinc About Sudden Loss

Alex Plaumann
About Sudden Loss



In this episode, we had Alex Plaumann from Judy’s Way Incorporated as a guest. Alex and his brother started Judy’s Way Incorporated in honor of their mother. She died in a car accident in April 2020. Judy’s Way Inc is a non-profit that provides grief support and financial assistance for families who are dealing with funeral expenses, which for some, can be very unexpected and overwhelming in an already difficult time. Alex understands and has experienced this type of sudden loss and empathizes for those that are dealing with that and the need to plan and pay for a funerary costs. Judy's Way Inc is such a beautiful tribute to his mother and we enjoyed talking with Alex.

Sudden losses are rarely planned for. Loved ones left behind are often left with the quick planning and unexpected financial stresses for funeral arrangements and carrying out the wishes of their loved one, if any. The more aware people are of programs such as Judy's Way Inc, the better equipped people can be when the need arises.

Our goal is to make grief and loss something that isn't awkward to talk about but also to better inform people of the resources available.

Thank you, Alex, for all that you are doing and honoring your mama in the way that you do.

Until next time, we hope you find hope and joy in your journey.

Check-In & What’s Happening With Sunflowers & Red Feathers Our Interview Series is slowing down and we are looking for more topics for our episodes. We recently just had both of our boys’ birthdays and are trying to find our “normal” again.  We know it has been a crazy year. Last March everything kind of just shut down and not too much has changed in that regard this year which makes it even more crucial to have the support you need. Between insane weather, a pandemic, and more heartache than most can handle, the community you build is going to be what you need most. If you are in need of help finding your new normal, reach out.

  Reading: My Yellow Balloon & Discussion My Yellow Balloon written by Tiffany Papageorge Illustrated by Erwin Madrid Published by Minoan Moon Publishing This children’s book was beautifully written for children who are grieving. Kristina & Steffanie read the book and discuss how even adults can relate to the overwhelming sadness and daily struggles that Joey encounters after he loses his yellow balloon. #watchreadlisten to learn how Joey’s grief changes over time as he walks through his grief journey to a place where he finds both hope and joy. Here are some of the quotes that we found relatable: “Then one day in one second everything changed.”      All tragedies are so unexpected. It only takes one second and your entire world is upside down. "Let’s go get you a new toy. That will make you feel better.”     Do you have other children who are still alive?
