Catina.. wish I could hug you... You did a great job, and jason is surely sorry he left such a burden, but like my husband dying suddenly, they are still here with us spritually, or so that is what I believe. I hope you are doing better, and pushing forward, the best way you can. Much love and big hugs carla

You did fantastic. That was very moving. I sure wish my husband had taken out life insurance. I know whoever sees your commercial will be inspired to move ahead with protecting their family.

Very nice, I thank god we had life insurance. You said it all, I can't imagine trying to grieve while worrying about money. Your commercial will help others.

I agree with onebrokenheart, by making that commercial you will never know how many people you and Jason have helped...anyone who sees that will be paying attention.
I see Jason was a Marine...that makes him a brother to me...

That must have been tough to do--well done!

I thought the commercial was incredible. I had a little- it covered the funeral and burial expenses and left me with enough to recover some of the financial footing we lost while he was sick. I don't know how I would have buried him without the insurance. You did a good thing there... And you did it well.

Nicely done, tugs at my heart. Amy was an insurance agent so we always had sufficient life insurance but I feel for everyone here who did not. Death is hard enough without worrying about other things that add to the grief.
When Amy got sick and we did not know what was wrong we made an doctor's appt. the day that she died. I had taken that day off to go with her and wanted answers from our doctor about what was happening. We did not make that appt. either. I am not sure that it would have made a difference but I always wonder what if.
I hope the best for you and thank you for sharing the tribute to your beloved husband. I hope many people see this in your area and take solace that you may have helped someone else. Peace ~Pete

Catina, the commercial was such a wonderful tribute to Jason. Much peace to you...

What a lovely tribute! Hugs Patti

Very tastefully done & a wonderful tribute to your husband. Made us understand & feel like we knew your husband. A good man. First let me say how sorry I am for your loss. You are so right about everyone needing life insurance. It's so hard to deal with the burden of not having money for necessities and trying to survive losing your spouse at the same time. I truly believe it makes the loss so much more difficult to get through. (Not downplaying anyone's grief) I am older then you are but we did not have life insurance either & it took me quite awhile to get on my feet again. If I would of had children at home, I do not know how I would of managed. Everyone needs to see this commercial & really think about this. Life is so unpredictible.

I think this ad is one of the ways in which we widows and widowers can be helpful to other people who have not yet experienced grief. By the time someone comes here, it's almost certainly too late. I never knew losing my wife would be like this!

Anyway, we should advise people to buy insurance. It's not expensive, and it will help protect your loved ones if you die. My children were grown by the time my wife died. I cannot imagine her coping with grief as well as trying to juggle all the financial responsibilities of raising our children without some sort of insurance.

There are also many other ways we can help, like wills, letting your spouse know all your accounts/passwords, making funeral plans, etc. Death is certain. Don't make it more difficult on your loved ones than it already is!

Catina, thank you for sharing your story with us.

That was beautifully done - well done you! It must have been so hard, but you did a great job - I hope somebody gets the message. Cliff died of a heart attack, too. He had a huge accidental life policy, which paid out nothing. I was lucky because I ahd bought a small policy thriugh my job that covered all my dependents - I bought it so my sons would have some coverage. It also covered Cliff, and that was how I paid for the funeral and burial, but it didn't leave much else, so I had to continue working full-time to support myself and our sons. I did it, but I wouldn't wish it on anybody, so I know what you went through.

After Cliff died, I lectured every guy I worked with to make sure they got insurance. Nobody should have to go through it.

Thank you for sharing that with us. I wish I could give you a real hug - you earned one!!!

Love and Big Hugs,
Martha
