In this episode of Widow Wisdom and Wealth, Donna Kendrick and her husband Jim reflect on the challenges of navigating parenthood and career after the loss of a spouse. They discuss managing grief, children's emotions, and the nuances of whether certain behaviors are grief-appropriate or age-appropriate.

The episode offers insights into balancing immediate needs with long-term planning, the importance of slowing down after a significant loss, and leaning on a supportive community and professional team.
