Real Talk with Life After Grief Chris

"Helping those in grief (and the advisors who support them) navigate financial matters."In 2008, at the peak of the recession, I lost my mother to cancer in August and my father to a broken heart in November. In 2010, my grandmother passed away after a stroke. Then a heart wrenching experience in 2012 of losing my oldest child.I became a financial planner in 2003 during the process of helping my parents in their declining health. In 2011, three years after my parents passed, I became a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ to better help families in need. In 2021, I became a Certified Financial Transitionist® to complete my personal and professional experience with formal education and scientific theory. My personal experiences and knowledge of grief and loss of loved ones helps me to understand and assist families enduring similar situations. I’ve helped over 400 families navigate many financial issues and life circumstances such as grieving loss of loved ones.

In this week's episode I touch on a subject matter not broadly discussed--Sibling Loss.
I discuss this subject from the point of view of my own children and that of two dear friends who have also lost a child.

This is a sensitive topic, which forced me out of my comfort zone. Through my discovery, there are clear signs siblings display during their struggles with grief. I located a fantastic website that discussed in detail the signs and impact on a sibling who has lost a brother or sister. Please note that this website is limited to supporting children ages 3-8, however, the advice is impactful for children of all ages. https://raisingchildren.net.au/school-age/connecting-communicating/tough-topics/sibling-death-supporting-children-3-8-years

I also discuss ways that parents can identify and help their children through a tragic loss.

I discuss the financial impact and have received a lot of questions regarding life insurance on children. My advice is that everyone's situation is different and to speak to your financial planner.
