Default How does someone cope with this?

A young couple have a severely disabled child who needs constant care. This means that the mother can't work and so the husband is the only earner. Money is very tight, they can't afford a car or holidays.

One windy day, on his way home from work, the husband is killed by a falling chimney. After the funeral the young widow decides to claim against the owner of the property, only to find that the property wasn't insured. So, she engages a solicitor, and after going to court is awarded compensation from the owner of the property. The property owner immediately declares himself bankrupt and emigrates to sunny Spain.
