For women having to take responsibility for their finances, perhaps for the first time, the task can seem too overwhelming and knowing where to start can be difficult.

These days, many widows face information overload, not knowing how to separate the wheat from the chaff or how to identify what is and what isn't important, when it comes down to money and investments.

By reading Anita Gatehouse's A Widow's Guide: Helping you choose the right path, you will discover: How to create a simple system to deal with your day-to-day financial paperwork.

How to get an overview of your financial position How to avoid many of the common mistakes widows make.

How to demystify investing and understand what really matters.

Divorcees who are coming to terms with looking after their own finances will also find it useful, as they face many of the same issues, both financial and emotional, as widows.
