The Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm Owner, Shannon Pawley, speaks to the loss of loved ones through death and advanced dementia and how such loss can impact the holiday season.

DECATUR, GA, December ••, 2023: Shannon Pawley, Owner of The Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm, has posted a new blog on the law firm’s website entitled “Dealing With The Loss Of A Loved One During The Holidays.” Ms. Pawley encourages those dealing with loss to “be kind to yourself.”

As Pawley writes, “The holiday season can typically be stressful on most people. Add to the mix the loss of a loved one and the stress can be greatly magnified. And,” she continues, “let me point out that death is not the only way to lose someone you love. Dealing with advanced dementia can often be more stressful on family and friends than the physical death of a loved one.”

“If you are heading into your first holiday season after the loss of someone you love,” Pawley states, “the most important thing to remember is that there is no right or wrong way to negotiate through the season. When everyone else is in a celebratory mood, you are not obligated to join in.” She states, “Join in if it feels right. Continue traditions or choose to opt out as you deal with your loss. It’s most important to be kind to yourself.”

About Shannon M. Pawley, J.D., LL.M

As the owner of The Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm, Shannon M. Pawley and her entire team share a passion which focuses on being able to serve the legal needs of retiring individuals. In our firm, WE BELIEVE that people should not have to lose everything they’ve worked a lifetime to earn and that every person is an individual who deserves respect and the highest quality of life possible, regardless of age or ability. We also believe that privacy and protection are the keys to personal peace. Born and raised in the Tidewater area of Virginia to a tightknit family with strong military service roots, Shannon learned from an early age the value of hard work and the importance of social awareness to ensure you always leave a situation in a better place than how you entered it. In her junior year of high school, Shannon served as U.S. House of Representatives Page during the 101st United States Congressional Session in Washington, D.C. This experience exposed her to numerous new cultures and worldly issues. Walking away from her experience as a U.S. House of Representative Page, Shannon knew that she wanted to pursue legal studies and be able to assist others in obtaining the best results available in difficult situations.

Shannon earned her undergraduate degree at North Carolina Wesleyan College and pursued a law degree from Michigan State University College of Law. After obtaining her law degree and becoming a licensed attorney in Michigan, she continued her educational pursuit by acquiring a LL.M. (Master of Law) in Taxation from Wayne State University. After moving to Georgia in 2018, Shannon obtained her Georgia law license and has enjoyed being able to pursue her desire of ensuring persons are able to age with dignity, grace and independence.
