Life after a spouse’s death is incredibly challenging, especially when it comes to figuring out your financial stability. When your income takes a hit, whether your spouse was the main breadwinner or you work but your dual income gets cut in half, the financial pressure can be overwhelming.

Let’s talk about Social Security survivor benefits and how they can help keep you and your kids on stable financial ground during this tough time.

Earlier this week, we celebrated National Stepfamily Day – a time to recognize the unique challenges and joys that come with blending families. As part of this occasion, I wanted to share some valuable insights on step-parenting grieving children from my discussion with Diane Ingram Fromme on The Widowed Parent Podcast.

In our discussion and in her book, Stepparenting the Grieving Child, Diane offers her wisdom on how stepparents can support children who have lost a parent, navigate the complexities of grief, and build meaningful relationships in the face of loss.

I'm so excited about the great lineup of shows we have as the podcast returns for the Fall: complicated situations & relationships; the epidemic of loneliness; and so much more.
