Losing a spouse is one of life's most difficult transitions. You don't have to walk through it alone.
At Johnson Investment Counsel, we see it as a privilege to walk alongside widows and widowers during times of profound loss. In these moments, finances may feel overwhelming, but not everything has to be handled at once.
Our Role
Our role is to help you take one step at a time:
- Making sure immediate needs like cash flow and bill payments are covered.
- Helping you organize and prioritize what comes next, from benefits to estate settlement.
- Guiding you through investment decisions with care and patience.
You may hear us talk about "widow fog" - the natural difficulty of remembering details and managing tasks in the midst of grief. That's why we encourage journaling, checklists, and ongoing conversations. Our goal is to bring structure and reassurance so that you don't feel the pressure of handling everything at once.
Over time, we'll help you build clarity around your financial picture and create a plan that reflects your needs, values, and long-term goals.
At every step, we deliver what matters most: trusted counsel, genuine care, and peace of mind.
