<prompt> Human: Ill try to spare unnecessary details. It simply hasnt sunk in yet, he was in his mid 50s. My Dad was the sole breadwinner. My Mom, early 50s, has lupus, isnt able to work, has tons of doctor bills, and needed insurance through my Dad.We should get around 430k from life insurance. His pension, my guess is 250k, should transfer to her and he had about 450k in his 401k. She better have a lot of years left, so what would be the best way to extend whatever money we get for her care? Does she qualify for disability or medicaremedicaid? Im honestly lost and these last few days have been such a blur that I just need some guidance.Anything to point me in the right direction is appreciated. If theres some other details you need to know that I neglected just comment them and Ill try to add them as soon as I can.  <response>: On a non finance angle, try a group like a Widowed And Young WAY or Way Up. My mum went to them after my dad died and they provide loads of emotional support. Its people of a similar age to your mum who have been through the same thing.There are similar groups for children who have lost parents as well.
