If you are a household with young kids, you will understand how stressful it is to keep a vocation going while putting the requirements of your kids first. It is normal that one partner will become the number one care provider and the other will be the main income earner.

How hard must this become if mummy or daddy is diagnosed with a terminal illness or dies suddenly? Besides the sorrow all members of the family are dealing with, there could well be a requirement to re-think the work-life balance.

With a sudden death, your mind is in a mess, the last thing you want to think about is your job, but there may well be a requirement to consider how the current work-life balance is going to fit with the new one-parent family position you now find yourself in. If you were the main salary earner, perhaps you used to be involved in business travel, or working long hours each day. This style of work would need to change as you are required to implement the care of your kids. Will your work allow for the change or will you need to look for something else? Could you Work From Home? If you were the mum or dad who had most of the responsibility for looking after the kids, then probably your job would still fit around your needs, but is it still worthwhile financially to keep up with this work, or will you require more money than this will allow?
