Sometimes it is important to take a moment and carefully consider just how important family members are in our lives. The day to day business of living can sometimes make it hard to fully appreciate how our much of our personal well-being may be owed to being part of a family. Families can provide us with a sense of belonging and security. From the eldest matriarch to the youngest newborn, each member helps contribute to family’s uniqueness.
The loss of any family member can be devastating. If a loss comes suddenly and unexpectedly, the entire dynamic of a family can change. Familial roles may suddenly have to shift. For example, a tremendous void could be created if a parent is lost. It could mean that the children, in addition to losing the love and guidance provided by the parent, may also have to take on more responsibilities. The same can be said for a surviving spouse who is now without a mate.
In some instances, the loss may have been preventable. Deaths caused by such things as auto accidents, medical errors and defective products are frequently due to the negligence of another party. In such cases, a family may be eligible to seek compensation. While money cannot undo the damage done, it can help remove at least some of the financial burden caused by a wrongful death.
