Wings for Widows
Guiding Widows to Financial Wellness
We provide personalized financial wellness coaching to help widows move forward with confidence and hope.
Nearly all men and women face some level of financial trauma following the loss of a spouse. Our pro bono CFP financial advisors provide advice and financial planning to help new widows and widowers navigate the financial trauma of loss, which could include a loss of income, moving into more affordable housing or moving in with relatives, putting children into different schools, or going back to work.
And then there’s the whole administrative side of loss – the mountain of forms and checklists. Finding their "new normal" is often nothing short overwhelming, especially when grieving. Our experienced coaches come alongside, provide education and encouragement, and empower new widows to embrace their current situation and develop a plan for moving forward with clarity and confidence.
