When your husband dies when you were young and you had a child.?

Question

But have chosen to help the child and raise her and NOT date. Why do people ASSUME you have some money. when the TRUTH is you worked and that is how you supported your child. When people ask me..."Did you get a life insurance policy?"..I consider that very PERSONAL...and say.."Just a small one, why would you ask?'...Then i just LET THE PERSON GO...because then i know what they want. What is your take on that?

Answer 1

I am widow and I have a son. People assume that  you have money because most widows have money but not all. I am the type of person that it is hard to approach but that doesn't stop people from talking. You should be getting SSI for both your child and yourself (if you're not working).  Depending on what type of work he did and how long he worked determines the amount. People are rude and ignorant when it comes to death. I did have a guy that I was seeing ask me how much do I get monthly and how much was the life insurance and that was the last time I saw him. You don't owe  anyone an explanation but your child. Sorry to hear about your lost.

Answer 2

people talk . they always have and always will . don,t mind them .  sorry for your loss

Answer 3

I'm sorry I don't really understand your question. I'll answer anyways, when someone asks you that just say, "We are well taken care of" and leave it at that. Don't tell them your business. If they are bold enough to even ask, be bold enough to keep them out of your business.

Answer 4

Huh?

Answer 5

Huh? This is about 5 different questions wrapped up in one that doesn't even make sense.  

Answer 6

however you take care of your child..as long as they are healthy, well fed..dressed, roof over their heads..has tons of love and support, that is what really matters here..

Answer 7

I applaud your committment.  Your husband would've been proud of you.

Answer 8

I think people ask without meaning anything

A simple yes or no will do.

Why would you kick someone out of your life because of a yes or no question?  

Answer 9

Simple say, "thats personal" and let it go at that.. people tend to be stick their nose in  other people's business quiet often...and I didnt have any trouble understanding your question.. :)

Answer 10

Huh, did you proof read this? It's kind of confusing. What's the question really? Don't you get social security for yourself and your child after the death of your husband?  A friend of mine lost her husband and her and her daughter get a TON of money every month from social security, as long as she doesnt remarry. But really, don't feel obligated to tell people your financial business. Do or don't, it's up to you.

Answer 11

Well I think it is very rude to ask if you had a life insurance policy because it is none of their  business. They aren't the ones who have to deal with the loss and financial burden of being a single parent i would probably tell them to @#$% off.
