Feeling Overwhelmed? You're Not Alone.
When my mother became a widow, her experience revealed how unprepared many women are for this transition. Despite her education and resources, she faced overwhelming decisions during a time of profound grief.
Understanding "Widow Brain"
Grief affects cognitive function in measurable ways:
Difficulty concentrating and making decisions
Short-term memory challenges
Reduced ability to process complex information
This is why critical financial decisions should be delayed when possible.

The Golden Rule of Widowhood
