The widow was a lady who nursed her terminally ill husband for over two years. She didn’t plan to spend the first part of her retirement years in this way and neither did her husband. They both hoped they would spend many years traveling and enjoying their grandchildren. They didn’t plan on one spouse getting ill, exhausting their savings, or leaving the surviving spouse to fend for themselves.

One option in this couples circumstances would have been to purchase a Long Term Care insurance policy as part of there overall retirement plan. A Long Term Care policy would have paid for expenses for the bedridden husband to allow his wife to rest from day to day care. The widow could have her Long Term Care in place for the time when she needs the same level of care and having no husband to help her. We don’t have a crystal ball, nor do we know what the future holds. We do know people are living longer, and need care longer. We all want to stay in our own home.
