if i came off a bit hard in the earlier post, please forgive me. it is the big brother instinct that i seem to have regarding those that have a serious crisis in their lives.
all the "off base" remarks regarding life insurance etc were some you will have to face before and after the funeral. take the life insurance. unless he had pre planned his funeral, that leaves you with the task. and paying for it is part of that task. most if not all funeral homes will take an assignment from the life insurance so the family does not have to fork out serious money at the time they can afford it least. that is where the clauses in your insurance come into play.
as for the rest, that can wait until after you put your best friend and husband to rest. we can help if needed. we will be here for as long as you want us to be.
sorry that i can not physically offer my broad shoulders to you, i guess the internet version will have to do.
