What readers are saying about Moving Forward on Your Own…
As a former therapist and now a financial planning professional I think Kathleen has done a great job of bridging the personal and technical elements of this experience. I will use this book repeatedly and thank Kathleen for her contribution.

I am ordering several of your guidebooks to give to recently widowed clients. This book provides gentle guidance needed in such difficult times. My staff and I (one a recent widow) all agree it is the book we want to use.

I am so excited about your book! It is a much needed addition to the current literature for widows.

I especially appreciated the Financial Checklist for Recent Widows. It helped me with important first steps to take.

As a fellow financial planner, I have given Kathleen's book to grieving clients and watched how they began to face financial reality with confidence. . . . in my experience dealing with grief, simple steps is exactly what we need when our brains are overloaded with emotion. The artwork and the layout give the reader a beautiful environment in which to reflect. I think giving this book to a widow is one of the most thoughtful gestures you could make for her.

This book ‘holds the hand’ of its reader at one of the most difficult change points in life. The easy-to-access segments and combination of story, thinking tools and journal response provide needed support for the basics of financial guidance. I have personally passed this book on to two others because I found its content so rich and helpful. It's just the right combination of advice and practical support for helping a widow find her way. Regards to Kathleen Rehl for her practical, gracious sharing

What I truly loved about this book is that it was written from a posture of compassion and offered valuable information. The information was written in such a way so that it would not overwhelm the reader. I do strongly believe that all Financial Planners should have several copies of this book on hand to provide to their clients that have recently suffered the loss of a husband.

My hope is that others, like me, will be there at the hour they are most needed for their loved one who is suddenly widowed, through the power of this book. And in buying this book, will return their loved one to a state of happiness and an understanding that though their world has drastically changed, it's alright for them to be moving forward.

But for most of us, this book will be a Godsend. It doesn't have all the answers but it's a great way to discover what questions to ask, and for most of us that's golden.
