A Guide for Widowhood

Life Stages Financial Guides

If you are considering reading this book, that probably means you have just entered the club you never wanted to join: widowhood. My heart is with you because I’ve been where you are right now… you have lost your spouse or partner. You have lost a significant part of your life.

Or, maybe you are considering this book as a resource to help someone you care deeply about so that you can be a good support for them as they journey through widowhood. And you want to help them make the next right moves, especially in regards to their finances.

A Guide for Widowhood is here to help through the first days, weeks and months of widowhood… and the years to follow. This book is for the widow or widower searching for peace of mind, the knowing that they WILL be able to handle this new season in their life, and the ability to move forward with financial grace.

Like the Tilt-a-Whirl on a seaside boardwalk or carnival, the world feels “spinny” after a loss.

This book will slow the velocity of it all for you
