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 today's episode I have the distinct pleasure of RE-Introducing Carolyn Moor. Although she needs no introduction, Carolyn was the first to introduce me to the idea of Super Survivors. She is well known as the founder and director of the Modern Widows Club.

Today, I have the honor of picking Carolyn's brain in terms of what made her a Super Survivor.

We focus on 4 main areas:

Choose Life: live for the future, not in the past

Reach out: connect with other survivors—or in Carolyn's case create a forum of your own connections

Get Moving: set goals and take action

Give Back: service and acts of kindness empower the survivor to be an asset rather than a victim

Carolyn and I speak a lot about a book I referenced earlier in the season. -Resilience: The Science of Mastering Life’s Greatest Challenges by Steven M. Southwick & Dennis S. Charney.

I would be remiss if I did not mention Carolyn's book, Legendary windows Stories of Legacy by Carolyn Moor and the Modern Widows Club.

Please note all proceeds benefit the Modern Widows Club.

Cheers!
See you on the next episode.
