Imagine receiving news that can totally change your life in an instant.

No one knows what is around the corner. No one knows what will go wrong in their life, when illness will hit, when a breadwinner will die.

You can’t know what will go wrong but you can plan for it. You can be prepared for when life takes a wrong turn.

In the past three months alone, I have some across two cases where a parent has become very, very seriously ill. Both in their 40s. Too ill to work, probably not for many years, if they even survive. They have young children.

The sad and somewhat worrying fact is that anyone can suffer from a serious illness at any time. It doesn’t matter how healthy you feel, and serious illness does not discriminate by gender, age, nationality or income.

Have you considered how you are your family would manage if you were seriously ill, or if your partner became ill and unable to work for an extended period? Not happy thoughts but ones that need to be addressed.
