Each Friday at Widows Quest we collect articles and links to share about how to help those money problems and how to move forward positively after the bereavement. We have so many painful emotions to deal with at the time of death that money worries are the last thing that we want to deal with, but in reality many of us do have to look at how we are going to manage. Thanks to everyone for this weeks selection of articles

When you are bereaved, you go through the stage of just not seeing the future, how can you ever enjoy life again. This shows through in the comments of   this blog. But you can find happiness, you can find a new life.
What I would suggest is that you think about your strengths, think about what makes you who you are. We can fall into the trap of thinking that our lost love made us who we are…that is not true. We are who we are because of our experiences, we existed before and we will exist after our bereavement. …read more

I know believe that you can tell people who have suffered recent loss – what do you think, do these make sense to you?
We enter a room with our head down
We find a reason why we can’t go out, no matter how persuasive our friends are!
We cry when we see hurt in the world
We learn to smile in a different way, one that says I know I should smile but don’t want to!
We talk more about the past than the future

When you lose someone, it makes you think differently about all your friendships/relationships.
G = Granted. I think that I took all relationships for granted…now I now the pain of doing that, I spend a portion of each day investing in showing others how much I care.
R = Realised how special human relationships are….I value the warmth of a relationship, the feeling of being needed and the feeling of loving and being loved.
I = Invest time in relationships. Modern life can be busy and we can forget the people closest to us…oh, I will ring tomorrow night, ah I will pop …read more
