It’s hard to believe that it’s been five months since my husband passed away. During this time, I have experienced some breaks in concentration, which I attribute to the 'widow fog.' As my husband's Alzheimer's disease advanced, Rory has been a constant support to help me cope with the changes that have occurred and those yet to come.
I am writing to express my gratitude for Mission Wealth's unwavering assistance to my husband and me over the last decade. Without your support, I could not have managed it all. Thank you once again.
