"I took a deep breath… Literally.
And in a breath decided to recreate my career and make sure that I could help men and women in widowhood make better financial decisions."

ABOUT THE BOOK
I know the pain, I know the fog...
I know the need to crawl and scratch until you can get control of your own life. Because everything feels like it's swirling. I know because in 2013, at age 40, I lost my husband of 13 years, Gregory. The loss was sudden, he had taken his own life.
Although I was educated, smart, organized, and financially savvy, I was emotionally crushed. I spent the next few years pulling myself together and raising my children who were 8, 11, and 12 at the time. Once I learned I could handle the centripetal force of life, I took a deep breath…literally… and in a breath decided to recreate my career and make sure that I could help men and women in widowhood make the right financial decisions and feel empowered, smart and in control. This is my why!
I want you to have the resources I wish I had had to navigate widowhood and to help ease the uncertainty of your financial security after the loss of a spouse. This is your financial roadmap to survive the first three years of widowhood with your heart, soul and finances intact. My heart is with you.
