INSURANCE COVER
First and foremost, let’s thank God for life.
Second let’s reflect about the realities of life – as
much as we like to think life is easy, full of happiness
and abundance, and in most cases that is true
– the reality is that it does come to an end and this
is difficult for loved ones.
Regardless of who we are or what we do and as
much as life throws us many a curve balls to knock
us of our game, everything can be taken at a blink
of an eye.
Although nobody like to talk about life insurance and
funeral plans – because in essence it means preparing
for your departure from this world – it is an important
and essential process. This is a crucial part of planning
your future and that of your family and their financial
wellbeing. The most important question one should
ask themselves is how their absence in their family’s life
would affect them? It is a tough thought but a necessary
one too. It is inevitable that a family that loses someone
is sad, but wouldn’t be comforting if they had one
less thing to be sad about? Some consolation in terms
of financial relief. The process may seem complicated,
overwhelming of course and downright wrong so it is
highly important that one gathers all facts and talk to a
professional.
Our culture and traditions have never made the need
for insurance as a necessary thing. We only pay insurance
for things we know we might lose while alive or
we’d get arrested – car, house, personal properties etc.
But for some reasons majority of us don’t care to insure
our lives or bodies (for lack of a better word) for after
we die. We tend to think, and our culture and traditions
has over the years supported this notion, that those left
behind will take care of things and even if they can’t,
the community will. Someone once said, that even if
the community or his family refuse or can’t take care
of him after death, the government would because
they wouldn’t want his rotting corpse out in the street.
It’s macabre to even think that but if one looks on the
bright side of things, having life insurance is not that
bad.
neglected issues regarding life insurance, deaths in
our community and repatriation to our countries of
origin – also known as Funeral Plan.

Here are a few reasons why: -
Inheritance – you might not have assets but a life insurance
pay-out to your children can be the inheritance
they need to set them up for life. In most places this
money is tax-free and paid out quickly.
Peace of mind – just imagine future generations of
KenBrits might not carry on the harambee/maomboleze
changa tradition, so leaving some money behind will
ease their minds that they can give you a good send off
without worrying about money or going into debt – and
we all know how bad that can get. Losing a loved one
brings emotional and traumatic experience to any family;
can you imagine how eliminating the need to worry
about money can bring to your loved ones?
Don’t be left out, it’s time we take power, pride and
our dignity back.
The sooner the better as premiums increase exponentially
with every passing birthday!
Thank you and stay blessed.
IT CAN ONLY BE GOD.
