Tip & Quotes of the Week July 16-23

Finances while Grieving
When you are in the midst of grieving the loss of a loved one, you may feel pressured to make major decisions. While you will have to make some decisions, when it comes to your finances, don't make any major ones. This especially includes what to do with life insurance payouts.

Homework:
For at least 6 months, if not a year, just cry and focus on yourself. Work on establishing a new normalcy in your changed life. This is your time and shouldn't be intruded upon by making major decisions about money.

"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal." From a headstone in Ireland

"While grief is still fresh, every attempt to divert only irritates. You must wait till it be digested, and then amusement will dissipate the remains of it." Samuel Johnson

"Give sorrow words; the grief that does not speak whispers the o'er- fraught heart and bids it break." William Shakespeare
