Having one is a non-negotiable fact in our household. However, she had no cash for you to use to pay these expenses with? No insurance? (Really,it's not necessary to answer that - it's just a rhetorical question, because not everyone does have these things). Very sorry to hear of your loss.

I especially like the first two as most critical. It's important to talk to them, AND to model good financial behavior. The old saying "do as I say, not as I do" seems to be ineffective in terms of teaching kids good money habits! Good tips here. I especially like the first two as most critical.
