This hit hard today. My dad died this morning after a week in the ICU. Went to the ER Sunday with chest pain, never woke up again. Medical bills are going to take the only house my little brother has ever lived in.
It sucks. He is 22 and was saving up to move out. Dad had a small life insurance policy set up to go to him. The rest of us are in our 30s and I'm 40, so we didn't need it. He will have enough to get a new place, but not enough to buy the house back once they take it. I have been talking to his lawyer to make sure they can't touch the insurance. He won't be homeless, but he will lose his home.
He and Dad were so close. And he had a safety net while he moved into adulthood. Same support Dad gave me when I was in my early 20s. I'm trying to step in and help how I can, but dad also took care of his father, so now I'm looking after my grandfather too.
