What does it mean to you? You could be a very valuable resources for the others if we understand our natural responses to those changes and losses that happen in life.
What do you think how the clients are going through with their major illness, the career transition, the death of a family member or even the divorce?
What we might feel internally is what reflect outward, and it increased disorganization. Most of the time, access to the needed information has been changed, or the person has changed in responsible for maintaining things in their life.
Those people who are under distress might not able to recall what they have told to whomever, or what you might already been reviewed with them.

Not forget to put an name of the third party in the meeting in order to help in more understanding and follow-through for completion of tasks.
More communication, more thoroughly and frequently. Check in with a phone call between the meetings in order to see whether they are the one on the target. Staff supporter, it can be done doing a contact with the staff. Implement a reminder all for the next appointments.
Go "extra" mile: instead of waiting for the staff to do it, you can take action by offloading tasks, researching something, especially if that is a critical step in moving forward.
Be realistic and holistic. Take a look the whole pictures, new pictures and provide available support systems in planning. Such as, if your clients is a newly single, will he/she be able to know what is the need, or they might need ongoing outsourced service.
