[quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of widows live in fear of becoming destitute and feeling insecure. I'm sure on one hand she knows it's irrational because she can see the numbers, her financial guy is looped in, etc. But again, she might worry that if she starts giving it away she might end up in a precarious position. YOu say you use the same financial planner. Take it to him/her. Say "without me asking, mom often offers to help with finances for xyz. Based on what you know of her position, do you think it's prudent (for her financial security, taxes, etc.) that I accept? Then, assuming you have a thumbs up from financial guy, the next time mom offers, say "gosh, mom, I would be so grateful. That would be an enormous help. If you're sincere in the offer, it would be great to do it in short order. Is that ok?"[/quote]
