Chapter 9 - AMELIA’S INSURANCE

Amelia had a life-insurance policy through work.
$400,000.
After medical debt, funeral expenses, and leave from work, approximately $250,000 remained.
I used it to:
Pay down our townhouse.
Create Josephine’s education account.
Keep six months of expenses while reducing work.
My parents knew.
Helen’s note treated it as additional inheritance.
Bennett has Amelia money.
That sentence made me sick.
My wife died at twenty-nine.
My family converted the payment triggered by her death into proof I needed less from them.
It was not the money itself.
I could earn.
The cruelty was the arithmetic.
Josephine lost her mother.
