We’ve all thought and said the same thing – “It will never happen to me,” when someone we know gets the news they’ve been diagnosed with a catastrophic illness. We offer prayers and help, sincerely, but what else can we do? In reality we can protect ourselves because it can happen to anyone.
A few years ago, a close friend called me with the news that she had been stricken with colon cancer at age 47. It was a devastating blow physically, but because she was prepared, she didn’t lose any income. She had an income protection policy that allowed her to take the necessary time off work to recover without worry. She contacted her insurer immediately upon diagnosis and her benefits were paid out. It was for her, part of the positive experience that helped her in the long run. Her cancer was stage three already, and the worry about finances could have made the the cancer much worse. Yes, the road to recovery was arduous, but she was able to take the time to do what she needed to do. Because she’d talked to her financial advisers ahead of time about protecting her income and making sure she had the right insurances for asset management, my friend is today a cancer survivor.
