Our Financial Health & Grief

Grief can have a significant impact on one's financial health. The amount of work involved certainly took me by surprise! It is often a task where we need the help of others. I spent months sorting out information after the deaths of my parents and daughter. There are still things that come up. 

I don't want to reinvent the wheel here or offer advice on the many financial issues you may encounter, so I have included the following resource which I found helpful.

I recommend you look at Empathy.com:

• they have a lot of free information (see links below)

• they also have different support plans which many insurance companies cover. If not, I think the cost quite affordable. Empathy.com has a Care Team that guides families through emotional and practical matters that follow a loss.

• David Kessler (one of the world's foremost experts on grief and loss) is the Chief Empathy Officer. You can hear more from him in a video on their About Us page.

*I have only used the free resources from Empathy.com and have no financial gain in recommending them.
