If you don't have your shit together, this is a great site: getyourshittogether.org/This whole thing does not pass the smell test for me, but what do I know? Plenty of people die suddenly and sadly, without insurance. That's what family and church family and established charities are for. To help in time of need. The publicity of GFM has always just irked me. But again, I try not to judge because there but for the grace of God go I.

A “small” insurance policy? I’d love to hear their definition of “small.”

My uncle died very suddenly over a decade ago and while he and my aunt both had life insurance that they knew about, she was surprised to find out that he had an extra policy that she was unaware of. With that and the one that she knew about she was left with a *very* comfortable financial situation. So it does happen. Yes. I work for a life insurance company. This quite literally happens all the time. When someone dies, their SSN gets sent to their state registry. Once a month, all (!!) insurance companies pull that information and verify whether we have a policy on that person. I think it's the law, but we all do it. It would take anywhere from 3-9 months on average to discover this information.

I am super organized, but it's good to double check everything. I may not like what this family is doing, but you cannot imagine how often it happens that people find a life insurance policy. If you've paid up and don't owe any more, it may sit there for years.

"Small" to them could be 500K. Totally agree. How about donating some of that money to many other widows out there not as fortunate as her? She'll be just fine.

Since she wouldn't even re-gift a gift card she received and didn't want....it's unlikely that she part with any of the money she received.

Her estranged brother (in law?) sent her a card with a Chik-fil-a gift card and a (nice) note after her husband passed. That made her angry so she chopped up the card on social media... while basically also complaining that the kids wanted nuggets from Chik fil a. Someone correct me if that's wrong.

And then showed all sorts of screen shots of the money people venmoed her to go shop at Chikfila. Easily triple what the gift card value was.

What the others said.
He/they were estranged from his Brother. The Brother sent a card and condolences, with a gift card for chicken fil(or whatever it's called). She made a dramatic post about them being estranged and cut up the gift card. She came across as very arrogant.
In my opinion, she should have simply sent a polite and civil thank you note from her and the children, for the kind gesture and gift card. Then if she didn't want the gift card, she could have quietly given it to someone in need. If I recall correctly it was for around $40. There was an uproar up it on the other thread.

Shouldn't they have "searched high and low" before they jumped right to GFM? Honestly, when my brother died 4 years ago, we had to jump through hoops to gain access to his small (yes, very small) insurance policy. Our first thoughts were not to set up a GFM account. In fact, it never even entered our minds to ask strangers to pay for something that we accepted as our responsibility, even after we realized that there would still be a large balance after the insurance money was applied.
And if you're suddenly the sole provider for your family, your first responsibility is to get a real job or secure some type of temporary assistance until you get on your feet. It isn't to go back to school. You clean houses. You sweep floors, flip burgers, work at a part-time job or 2. You don't spend all your time boo-hooing and breaking down on social media on a regular basis. You get help if you need it. YOU SUPPORT YOUR CHILDREN BOTH FINANCIALLY AND EMOTIONALLY. That's what a mother does.
OK. Rant over.

That he photographed the letter before dropping it off with the gift card seems to indicate he knew she might cause drama and he'd need to keep evidence to defend himself (likely in the family circle rather than so publicly would be my guess). He didn't go to his brother's funeral because he was told to stay away because of Liz, too. She seems toxic all around.

Liz Kartchner is just an ungrateful bitch. In today’s episode she is kicking a Christmas gift from her mother in law out her front door. If you want to see it go to her Instagram stories.
She needs someone to take away her phone.

She needs someone to take away her phone. That video was so disgusting to me. She needs to read the room. There is a pandemic going on that has people hungry and struggling. What it must be like to kick gifts away and literally throw away money that could have fed someone in need.

How much do you want to bet she pulled that stunt AFTER she used the card? I mean, how would anyone know if it had been swiped already? Especially if she ordered online and did curbside pickup?

Physically (40-something) or emotionally (12)? ps - "Her grandchildren's daddy died." Yeah?! HER SON DIED TOO!! Sorry if her grief schedule doesn't work for you, Liz.

Yikes, that’s such a awkward thing to share publicly and will make so many people in her family (immediate and extended) uncomfortable. I hope if I am ever in such a situation I would have someone who could take me aside and help me. People act out in grief, but her mother-in-law is doubtlessly hurting too. This is just so sad.

I wish someone would point out that if liz’s son died she would be expecting more leeway to grieve than she’s given her mother in law.

Maybe I missed something, but what is wrong with her mother-in-law giving them a gift? I would think that is a nice thing. And why wouldn't she want to nurture a good relationship with her children's grandmother?

She must have received a good share of push back because she’s posted two slides about people’s comments. We’re missing the bigger picture, guys! A neighbor washed her car! Focus on the good of that person and not on her being a piece of shit!

The mother grieving the loss of her son was the first thing that popped into my mind when I read this. Next month it will be three years since we lost my brother-in-law. I’m still watching my sister grieve even though she’s remarried. From conversations with her, I know his mother is still grieving too. We all are as we watch his boys learn to navigate without him. As angry as I’ve seen my sister about so much of the circumstances surrounding his death, I’ve never seen her act maliciously like this. I know everyone grieves differently, but wow. Just wow.
The greatest example of irony is looking at the stickers on Collin’s truck. Do good. Be kind. I imagine her pain is a lot like my sister’s but unique because it’s different for everyone. I look at her and know she’s hurting so deeply. I continue to feel shock at seeing some of her choices displayed so publicly, but underneath it all, I always feel intense sadness for her.

Actions speak louder than words. IMHO her behavior illustrates her own, not her in-laws' (BIL, MIL), character.
Perhaps she should strive to consider others beyond herself (e.g. her children's uncle's brother died, & her children's grandmother's son died), stop using her children & their grief as props as well as their tragedy as an excuse to behave badly...hypocritically, on social media for an audience (& donations), etc.
