I'm dealing with that now.

My dad passed away and apparently didn't have life insurance. So, I got stuck with that bill. $3,000 just for cremation.

Now I have to hire a lawyer to get into his estate because he didn't have a will. $3,000 to $5,000 retainer fee.

On top of grief, I get to get myself into debt along with it.

That can be very tough on you. I have been there too. Unexpensed expenses can be very challenging especially when they surface during emotional times.
