I have a fear that something will happen to me or my husband, or God forbid both of us, and my son will be without a parent. I know this is because I lost my mother at a young age and learned then how temporary life is. One moment she was still alive, holding my hands, her breathing shallow, the next minute she was lifeless and cold and according to the doctor...GONE.
Gathering up her belongings and leaving her body behind like that felt like something that isn't supposed to happen to my family. But here's the thing, it can happen to you, it can happen to me, it can happen to everybody eventually and it will.
My husband hates it when I continually bring up the issue of our need for life insurance. He tells me, why bother...it's not going to keep us alive. I had to explain to him that while that may be the case, there is something even more important to consider and that is what the hell the other one of us would do to pay for all of the funeral and burial costs. It would clean out our modest savings account in a flash.
Death costs a fortune.
