    About this ebook

    We all need help and reassurance when coping with grief, and the emotional aftershock of losing a loved one makes the demands that our financial world imposes on us more difficult. You are facing many challenges right now, and you may be emotionally unprepared to handle everything on your own.

    Perhaps you were the partner who handled the finances. Now, however, financial matters may feel overwhelming. On the other hand, maybe he/she took care of all the financial details and now it is up to you to handle the affairs of the household. It can feel quite lonely without the other person around to ask for help and financial direction.

    The intent of this book is to give you guidance and help you through the tumultuous financial aspects of recent widowhood.
