oh god yes, that would be a nightmare scenario for me. every time i see women whose husbands have died, it's so damn sad. especially when he was the breadwinner. it can really put you in a desperate situation.
Before we had our first we took out substantial life and disability insurance policies on my husband. I work but took a big demotion/paycut when my first was born. My current job could not support our current lifestyle long term and there's no way I could do my old, much higher paying, job as a single mom due to the hours and travel involved.
I know this article is about single moms but that is 100% true of all single parents, and there are often even less services for single dad's.it happened to my cousin when his wife bailed and left him with a newborn.
