Difficulty focusing after Bereavement
After a bereavement, it can be very difficult to focus wholly on one issue. If economics are not a persons’ “thing”, dealing with this, along with a loss, can be excruciating. Some people just simply do not understand how financial products work. It can be frustrating for family and friends as they try to explain and advise, leading tempers to flair. Money is not a great subject at the best of times. Add distress to the pot and things are not looking good.
Ladies, why finances maybe aren’t your thing!
Some of the biggest issues which crop up and cause additional stress include and are not limited to:
- Sourcing the information needed to sort out a partners’ affairs
- Comprehending why a partner may have made certain choices and decisions with regards to savings and investments. These may be in joint names or purely in the name of the surviving partner or spouse.
- Knowing what to do with investments and savings which have been inherited and making the money “work”; a lump sum may have been received on the death of a loved one such as critical illness cover.
- Worrying about how life is going to be funded without a spouse or partners income.
- Realising that there is a gap in knowledge which somehow needs to be bridged; learning all about the financial situation and terminology so that future economics can be dealt with effectively. There may be issues such as a child’s university place to be funded in the future.
