‘My whole financial world is upside down’: I’m ‘medically retired’ at 51 with $428,000 in stocks. Is this enough to live on?

I’m now writing to you for advice a second time. I’m 51, still married, 25 years now, and still residing in Maryland. My whole financial world is upside down as my life has changed dramatically. The job I was going to go back to after a five-year hiatus lasted all but 3 months as I couldn’t continue my duties due to my ongoing medical issues.
