Life Insurance: How to prepare for the end without holding back on living? We Latinos are full of life. We love music, parties, dancing, and those unforgettable gatherings with friends and family. A defining trait of our culture is living life intensely “as if there’s no tomorrow.” We’re comfortable in the present, soaking up the here and now.
For many of us, though, death remains a taboo subject—something we avoid talking about, even though we all know it’s inevitable. The problem with not addressing death is that it prevents us from preparing for it.
When we talk about it, it’s usually indirect, as if it only happens to others. “Did you hear who passed away? So-and-so. And they weren’t even that old.” Followed by, “That’s why you have to enjoy life; you never know when it’ll end.” I remember my grandmother used to say this all the time. This is a typical example of how many approach such an important topic.
The reality is that about three million people die each year in the U.S. Do you think it’s all elderly folks? Think again. Around 200,000 die unexpectedly—in accidents on the job, while driving, from falls, drowning, or even choking.
So, what does it mean to be prepared for death? Is it bad luck to talk about it?
Far from it. Preparing for death means getting things in order with your family, whether through a will or something more practical: getting life insurance that ensures financial security for your loved ones after you’re gone. It’s a practical step that puts you in control, ensuring that your family is taken care of even when you’re not there.
A life insurance policy can have a death benefit of, say, $300,000. But there are also policies that offer living benefits, meaning you don’t have to pass away to access some of the payouts. These policies can be whole life, term life, or universal life insurance. If the policyholder is diagnosed with a terminal, chronic, or critical illness, they can use part of their benefit to cover treatments and medical care, a crucial aspect of life insurance that many may not be aware of.
Some life insurance policies act like savings accounts, allowing you to access funds when needed.
In short, talking about something as delicate as death can actually be a positive. It empowers us to take steps to live life fully, with the peace of mind that, no matter what, our loved ones will be protected. Life insurance is not just about financial security, it’s about providing a sense of peace and reassurance in the face of life’s uncertainties.
