Gerry;
I haven't been on this board very long, but I wanted to let
you know you are in our prayers. I can't imagine how hard
it must be for you at this time. I will give you a little
advice that I heard on the Suze Orman show on CNBC. A lady
called in and asked what she should do with her house and
some financial decisions as far as the life insurance she
had gotten from her husbands policy. The first thing Suze
said was if at all possible to not make any major
financial decisions for a year. Because the decisions you
make in the first year will be made with emotions. She said
if you do have to make any major decisions to have your
children help you with these decisions if at all possible.
She also said if you decide to stay in your home and you
have a mortgage.. and this is if you have gotten any money
from a life insurance policy which will let you do this. Is
to pay off your house. They took a poll on women that were
widowed.. and it was several yrs later.. they said the best
decision they ever made was to pay their house off. It took
a huge load off their shoulders not having that mortgage
payment. And then if they decided to move they could sell
their home and be able to take that money and buy something
smaller or move near their children.
Okay, I hope this helps a little. I can't imagine how hard
this is for you. I can't imagine how hard it would be for me
if my husband Paul was gone. I will pray for you and your
family. I know I am new here, but if you need anyone to
talk too I am here.
Where are you located? I am in Springfield, Illinois. But
have lived all over. Starting with my home state of
Wisconsin, California, Minnesota, Florida, Kentucky,
Georgia, North Carolina, Arkansas, and now Illinois.
Sorry for your loss.
God Bless!
