Hi there,

Schlamozzel here with another Slumlord Brand (TM) review from along the long LONG road of dealing with the death of a family member. Today we have a nerve-shattering visit with “The Sound of Silence-Company” better known as Northwestern Mutual Life.

As many of my faithful friends and readers know I had lost my father a while ago. Being left behind amid a plethora of “details” was something I myself had not really figured into the equation of “family loss”. Through our lives we are exposed to video images and verbal advertisments from insurance companies and money managers. All of which tout how well taken care of a decedent’s remaining loved ones will be, should they choose to partake of the products and or services that they “sell”. We see images of some nicely dressed, clean-shaven person cheerfully handing a benefit check to comforted people with smiling faces.
