My husband died recently. Being I get more on SS than he did, I got nothing.
I was recently given a whopping $23 in food stamps, that's it.
If I did not own the house we owned together, I'd be panic stricken right now.
I lay in bed at night worried to death!
I probably won't be alive any longer than another 10 years is my hope because if I live longer than that, I'm screwed.
I have no advice as no one can plan to become disabled. It was the very last thing I wanted, believe me.
