When Donna passed away unexpectedly in 2019, the grief was immediate. But what followed was a flood of overwhelming questions — passwords, accounts, wishes, and important details that had never been written down. The weight of that experience opened Hollie’s eyes to something she had never fully understood: how unprepared most families are, and how heavy that burden becomes for the people left behind.

Donna’s loss inspired Hollie to turn her pain into purpose — first through the book Unbury the Burden, and now through a nonprofit built to help other families avoid that same heartbreak.
