Kendrick generously uses her own unfortunate experience to help others in this informative, well planned, relatable book. She manages to bring comfort, knowledge, and empowerment all at the same time. Highly recommend this book.

I'd actually encourage every woman to read this, even those whose spouses are healthy. Kendrick's story and advice point to steps you'll want to take as early in your relationship as you can.

Donna's story is so inspiring and it's amazing to see someone using their story to benefit so many others. In addition to the resources for widows, there are many free resources and checklists inside that are great for anyone.

Donna's Story

Born and raised in the Philadelphia area, Donna’s career began in business management over 20 years ago. She lived and worked internationally for several years returning stateside in 2011.  

​

In 2013, Donna’s husband passed away unexpectedly, and she found herself suddenly navigating widowhood with three young children.

​

After getting things settled with her kids and their new life, she made the decision to relaunch her career.  She went back to school to become a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ practitioner (CFP®) so she could provide advice and support to families in transition, and help other families and provide the resources she wish she had during her times of transition.

​

Donna is now author of the #1 Amazon Best Seller A Guide for Widowhood Navigating the First Three Years, a speaker, podcast host of Wisdom and Wealth, and CFP® and focuses her practice on financial planning for families in transition. Donna follows her passion for helping people prepare their futures and helps them navigate the sudden changes life puts forward. 

​

Donna continues to give back to many causes including The Safe Harbor program, which provides ongoing grief support groups for children, teens and their parents or caregivers.

​

Donna married her husband Jim in 2022 and between them, they have six children, Connor, Katie, James, Jeanie, Delaney, and Seamus. Together with their Newfoundland and English bulldog, they enjoy living in Jenkintown, PA.
