In this article, findings from a study designed to evaluate the perceptions of widows in relation to financial advice are reported. Based on a sample of 1,100 widowed respondents, results suggest that working with a financial advisor significantly improved widows' financial confidence in their current and future financial situations. Practical implications for advisors are presented with additional suggestions for further work in this important area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
