Praise for Previous Editions of On Your Own: "On Your Own can be a valuable guide book for the newly widowed. This book has much excellent information. A gift of this book could be the biggest favor you can do for a newly widowed friend." -Associated Press "For all who have asked 'What do I do now?' or 'Who can help me...?' I recommend On Your Own...the authors lead the reader through important topics often thought to be too intimidating or too confusing for someone wrought with fear and sadness." -Edward Jay Beckwith, Estate Planning Attorney "On Your Own is more than a financial planning guide. It is also a guide for surviving the emotional rite of passage that surviving spouses must endure. On Your Own is a sensitive and practical work about a necessary but painful period in the life of widow. Widowers should read it also." -Bureau of National Affairs "On Your Own confronts the subject with intelligence and compassion. From facing your initial reactions through rebuilding your life, the authors deal with difficult issues clearly and realistically. This is a thoughtful and reliable book to help anyone through the shock and confusion of widowhood." -Modern Maturity "But by changing the word 'husband' for 'spouse' and 'widow' to 'survivor, ' you can convert the book into a contingency planner for either husband or wife." -Nation's Business "On Your Own is a wonderful book that manages to combine both the financial and emotional advice a widow needs in a helpful and supportive manner. If someone you care about is widowed, don't send flowers-send this book." -Terry Savage, best-selling author "Their advice is sound and could stop you from irrevocable actions." -SmartMoney "Help in coping. Here are some places to look for help in getting on with life...On Your Own...practical information on health insurance, estate planning and benefits programs." -U.S. News and World Report "On Your Own aims to provide a financial and emotional guide to women rebuilding their lives alone. While the book is useful for widows, the lesson of understanding the financial situation is even more valuable to couples. Even simple things like understanding each other's filing system and knowing where financial records are kept can be a tremendous help." -Washington Post "Yours is the only book that truly approaches it from the woman's viewpoint and clarifies what is a mass of strange and threatening terms and tasks. You have done an important thing in a beautiful way. Thank you from my heart and my checkbook!" -A widow, Annapolis, Maryland
