nc. on the study. "But life crises come with an additional layer of complications -- and, frequently, with a requirement to act."

It is hardly surprising then that when it came to their finances, "overwhelmed" was the most frequently cited emotion in instances of divorce (48%), death of a spouse (65%), serious illness/disability of self, a spouse or life partner (75%), or serious illness/disability of a child (79%).
