When Money Comes from Trauma: Navigating Sudden Wealth After Loss with Shannon Maroney

Описание: Financial windfalls are often framed as a blessing — a lottery win, a business sale, a sudden boost to your bank account. But not all money arrives under happy circumstances. Sometimes, a large sum comes after deep loss or trauma: a life insurance payout following the sudden death of a loved one, or a civil settlement after a violent crime or serious injury.

In this episode of Moolala: Money Made Simple, Bruce Sellery speaks with Shannon Moroney, bestselling author, therapist, and internationally recognized restorative justice advocate, about the emotional complexity of receiving money after trauma — and why it can feel anything but straightforward.

Shannon explains the range of situations in which people may receive significant sums under painful circumstances and the emotional responses that often follow: guilt, grief, confusion, anxiety, numbness, and even shame. Instead of relief, many people feel pressure — to make “the right” decisions, to honour a loved one’s memory, or to justify the money’s existence at all.

If you or someone you love has received money following loss or hardship, this episode offers compassion, perspective, and reassurance: there is no “right” way to feel — and taking care of your emotional well-being is just as important as managing the money itself.
