Abstrakt: This paper reports the findings from an international study designed to assess the financial satisfaction and life well-being of repartnered widows (those who are now remarried or in a long-term relationship). Based on an Internet survey that was disseminated widely among widowed support groups from around the world, findings suggest that repartnered widows who work with a financial professional before remarrying or entering a long-term relationship are more satisfied today with how they handle their finances than those who do not. Highest satisfaction was noted among repartnered widows when financial advisors talked to them about their new relationships and the related financial issues. Widows who later repartnered had been less financially confident at the time they were widowed. Other findings from the study suggest that financial confidence increases, and financial challenges associated with repartnering decrease, among those who work with financial advisors. Receiving advice from other widows and those considering repartnering is also important in shaping satisfaction and well-being. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
