CONVERSATIONS ON GRIEF SERIES: No Cost Financial Coaching & Planning for Widows: Chris Bentley
Nearly 70% of widows and widowers said that becoming the sole financial decision-maker was the top financial challenge of widowhood. Now there is professional help, at NO COST.
“I’m scared. I just lost the one person in the world I trusted. The love of my life - my entire support system - is gone. I know my world has changed forever, but I can’t grasp what that all means. I’m so sad and life is so uncertain, but I can’t grieve right now. I have children and must be strong. I know I have many administrative and financial things to do. I’ve seen the lists of what I’m supposed to do, but nobody tells you how to do it. Where do I even start? I need advice I can trust, but I don’t know where to get it. I feel so alone. It’s all just so overwhelming.”
Sound familiar? If there were ever a time in your life you needed to ask for help, it might be now.

From their website:
GUIDING YOU TO FINANCIAL WELLNESS
There are many financial, legal and other practical matters to deal with after a loss.
If you’re visiting us, it is likely you have learned how much there is to do following the loss of a spouse. Unfortunately, it’s overwhelming. All of it. We know, because scores of widows before you experienced exactly the same sense of bewilderment. How could you possibly know what you don’t know? Nobody is prepared for such a sad experience. There are plenty of books about the subject, but tearing through 300 pages to right the ship doesn’t sound like a great option. That’s exactly why Wings for Widows was created. To assist you through this unplanned and most unpleasant of life’s transitions. We hope you’ll continue to read on and learn more, because we’d like to help you get all the practical matters in your life sorted out.
Our goal is to help the newly-widowed embrace their financial future with confidence.
Spouses usually have roles in a marriage. Your role might have been a financial one; chances are good that managing the bills, checkbook, debt, and investments was not your role. If you’ve been recently widowed, now it is. Maybe you’re still working, raising young children, caring for parents - these responsibilities usually don’t end with the loss of a spouse. Yes, everything - EVERYTHING - rests on your shoulders. Who has time to properly grieve, right? You’ll have to deal with that, too, but you may have more pressing matters - like staying in your home. Wings for Widows has one goal: do everything we can to ensure you don’t make big financial mistakes, don’t miss opportunities, and don’t become a victim to fraudsters targeting widows at a vulnerable time. While much is unclear and uncertain today, we know we can help you gain clarity, control, and confidence of your financial life.
Financial coaching is core to what we do. We offer virtual coaching with licensed financial advisors at no charge.
