Christine-
I'm so sorry you have to deal with so much right now, but just a note on your medical insurance. Most medical rates are separated by "employee" "spouse" "employee with children" than "family rates". Family rates are always higher as they include a spouse. You will find that the employee with children rates are considerably less. When your husband passes on to a better place it is in the insurance world considered a "qualifying event" and you should be able to go to your employer to sign up without waiting for your annual enrollment period. The employee with children rate will be less than the Cobra for family rate. Let me know if you need more information. God bless you during this heavy time. - Kris
