You as the beneficiary of the insurance policy should have been paid the face value of the policy. Why the insurance company has not paid you yet is not a good thing!!! All you would need would be a death certificate and the policy stating you are the beneficiary, this money should not be taxable, it is not income, sometimes it is used to pay funeral expenses. hopefully it is a substantial amount. my husband and I have a $lot, if our death is an accidental it is doubled. If the deceased died by an accident, check the policy to see if it has a double idemenity clause, usually they do! I don't understand why the company going to stock would have any bearing on this policy. you need to get in touch with the insurance company.
REPETITIVE ACTIONS Many times, people with Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia develop a behaviour that involves repeating the same questions or actions over and over again. This can be very annoying, but it helps to try and remember that this person very possibly does not remember asking that question just moments before. Here are some possible causes of the repetitive actions, and also some coping strategies that may help you, as the carer, be able to handle the behaviour much better. * * Physical changes in the brain from diseases such as Alzheimer's. * Memory loss from dementing diseases. * Side effects of medications. This is especially true for repetitive motions. * Misinterpreting sounds or sights, thereby causing anxiety. * Separation from loved ones, causing constant questions such as, "Where's my husband/wife?" * Not understanding what is happening around the patient, resulting in questions like "What are you doing?" * Inability to express needs. For example, hunger may be expressed in the form of repeating the question, "What's for lunch?" * Trying to express emotions, such as fear, anger or insecurity. * Distract the person with a favourite activity or a favourite snack. * Respond to the emotion instead of the specific question. The person may simply need reassurance. * Remind with simple, brief statements. Don't remind the person that he or she has asked the question before, as this could be upsetting to them. * Try a gentle touch when verbal response doesn't help. Sometimes a hug or a gentle shoulder massage is more reassuring than words. * Use a calm voice when responding to repeated questions. * Use simple written reminders with patients who can still read. For example, a large sign hung in their room that says, "We will eat supper at 6:00 PM." * For the patients who no longer read, use pictures instead. For example, a picture of a toilet may replace the word "bath room" on the bathroom door. * Don't discuss plans with the person until just prior to an event, because it may cause agitation and repeated questions. * Ignore the behaviour or question. If there is no response, the behaviour may stop. This must be used carefully, though, because sometimes the patient may become angry or frustrated if the carer does not answer them. * Use memory aids. Sometimes signs, large numeral clocks and calendars will help orient some people. * Remove things that may cause repetitive questions. For example, a coat stand with coats on it may cause the patient to ask, "Is it time to go now?" * For repetitive movements such as rubbing hands together or tapping hands on the table, occupy the person with some sort of activity, a doll or a stuffed animal may be useful. * Have the patient's medications checked by a physician, because sometimes certain medicine will produce repetitive action behaviour. Remind yourself that the person with dementia does not have the ability to remember because of changes in the brain. It is sometimes helpful to keep a log or diary to help determine the causes of repetitive actions. Does the action occur at a certain time of day? Could the person be hungry, cold or hot? Keep track of when and what events have occurred, and you may be able to stop the behaviour before it starts. Some repetitive behaviour, such as sticking the tongue in and out, can be caused by too much of a sedating medication. If this type of behaviour is occurring, you should be sure and tell your doctor. Repetitive motions and questions can be one of the most frustrating behaviours for carers. It will help to try and get away for a while. Make a little time for yourself, and not only you, but also the patient will benef
