I am a free spirit, who believes in the freedom of speech and choice. Writing from the heart is the only way to go in my book, honesty and loyalty rank high on my score board and I believe in Do as you would be done by'.

Relationships & Family > Grief & Loss Should people who are grieving be expected to make financial decisions?

Just because someone is grieving doesn't mean that they don't still have all their faculties. It makes no sense to automatically presume that they have lost the ability to think and act for themselves purely because they are grieving over anything or the loss of a loved one, and indeed maybe the loss of a family pet.

Why anyone would be rude enough to make the presumption that another person is unable to look after their own affairs, based purely on the fact that this person is grieving, simply amazes me.

To make this type of presumption would leave the door open to wide spread abuse. An...
