Talking about finances can feel strange. Discussing loss can be equally uncomfortable. Combining the two? That’s an even tougher conversation.
We had the pleasure of chatting with Rebecca Soffer and Gabrielle Birkner, the minds behind the insightful book, “Modern Loss: Candid Conversations About Grief. Beginners Welcome.” Our discussion covers essential topics like family dynamics, inheritances, wills, the significance of trustworthy executors, and how to communicate with those grieving when words seem insufficient. Kelly and I also address your inquiries about HSAs, retirement after divorce, and preparing recent graduates to handle their finances. We conclude with advice on how to financially safeguard stay-at-home partners. Have you tried listening to our podcast on your Amazon Alexa?
