According to Weenolsen (1988) loss can be characterized as anything that destroys some aspect of life or self. According to Worden (2002) grief can be characterized as the experience of someone who has lost an important relationship or even an attachment to another person. These concepts can be directly related to the loss of a parent. Losing a parent can be extraordinarily difficult due to the loss of support and characteristics which identify the position and role of a parent as being very special (Despelder & Strickland, 2005). The grieving processes can mean different changes for those within different roles. Older adults who lose their parents do not process or grieve as a child who has lost their parent. I feel that both of these specific roles and experiences are of greatest importance. Issues of culture also maintain consistent changes across societies in how one works through or expresses the loss of their loved ones. Support for children and adults is a very important part of the grieving process and should be connected to characteristics of who children and adults are within their roles and how they respond to such loss.

Death is one of the most feared and least spoken words in our society because it is believed wrong to even think about it. Nobody likes death because death puts a full stop on all the activities of a concerned person. Death takes away people from this world, from our lives, from our families, death take away and only takes away people. Some people took the refugee in science and religion to win over this force. Many scientists and saints tried to win over this force of nature but however no one is able to win over this natural force so far.

The call came: “Dad is dead,” is all she said and I found myself weeping and saying over and over again: “Oh, I’m so sorry, so sorry.” I didn’t know then for whom I was expressing that sorrow, but it was spontaneous and genuine. Five days later, I still felt that sorrow and sadness, but now I could identify that it was for my children, their children, and even for myself.

Universal life insurance is a policy in which part of the premiums are used to buy life insurance and part are used to invest in the “cash value” portion of the policy. The premium amount is paid into what is called an “accumulation fund”, which is maintained by the insurance company. This accumulation fund earns varying amounts of interest, according to money market type interest rates. Universal life also has flexible premiums.
Unlike Whole Life insurance, where you make the premium payments and a portion goes into a savings, while the rest goes towards buying life insurance, with Universal life, the insurance company automatically withdraws enough money each year from the savings “fund” in order to buy one year of pure insurance on the insured individual.
