    About this ebook

    We all need help and reassurance when coping with grief, and the emotional aftershock of losing a loved one makes the demands that our financial world imposes on us more difficult. You are facing many challenges right now, and you may be emotionally unprepared to handle everything on your own.

    Perhaps you were the partner who handled the finances. Now, however, financial matters may feel overwhelming. On the other hand, maybe he/she took care of all the financial details and now it is up to you to handle the affairs of the household. It can feel quite lonely without the other person around to ask for help and financial direction.

    The intent of this book is to give you guidance and help you through the tumultuous financial aspects of recent widowhood.

      Preparing to "Go It Alone" - Ruth Delaney

      About the Author

      Ruth E. Robin Delaney, CFP®, CLU, ChFC, ADPA is a nationally known financial educator, author, speaker and wealth manager based in Tampa, Florida. She has been interviewed in various media, including on FOX TV’s WTVT. Her passion is helping both women and men who are on their own, as well as successful families and business owners who are retired or about to retire to experience true financial freedom through a unique process that she developed.

      Robin has a passion for lifetime learning. After earning a BA in Mathematics and Economics from Regis College, Robin continued her advanced education by obtaining a MBA in Finance from Hofstra University and an MS in Accounting from Adelphi University. Her relentless pursuit of excellence has led her to obtain additional professional designations, including Certified Financial Planner (CFP), Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU) and Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC). Robin has also joined the Ed Slott Elite Advisor program and has attained the level of Master Elite Advisor.

      Her decades of professional experience, including as a Senior Benefits consultant at one of the Big Four accounting firms, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, equipped her as she launched her own planning and wealth management firm, Greenleaf Financial Strategies, Inc. She has since merged that firm with Concierge Financial Organization.

      As Founder and CEO of an independent financial planning firm, Robin can put her clients’ interest first, without pressure to promote products for a financial firm.

      As the oldest of eight children, Robin was born to a Navy physician and his wife. As a Pediatric Cardiologist, Robin’s father dedicated his life, first to helping heal the children of military personnel, then to serving the children of Long Island, New York.

      Because the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, Robin continues the family tradition of helping and serving people, as she guides her clients through their financial lives.

      A strong believer in community involvement, Robin has been a board member of A Brighter Community, a not-for-profit pre-school and daycare center for at-risk children in the Tampa Bay area since 1998. Robin has served as the past president and board treasurer.

      When she is not working, Robin loves spending time with her dog, Mickey, as well as playing golf and taking pictures.
