Thank you Julie and Jonni. Your understanding and kind words brought tears to my eyes. I will have a lot to deal with in the future regarding my parents estate.
I am just dealing with one day at a time right now. The thought of the rest of it is to overwhelming.

That's all you can do, Dawn. The future will ask a lot of you, but please remember to take care of yourself. I work for a probate attorney and my advice is to simply give it over to an attorney you trust and let them handle everything. It's so much easier, especially with titling and things passing from husband to wife, and now them both gone.

Dawn, I'm sending you a hug. I am so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing and rejoice with you that your sister is doing better. Jonni is right, the future will ask a lot of you, one day at a time is good right now. One foot in front of the other, one breath in, one breath out...Know the sisters love you have on this site and the prayers that are going up for you.

Dawn, I'm so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. Things like this just happen so sudden, it's hard to wrap your head around it. You have my sincere sympathy and a long distance hug. I'm glad that you have your family and that your sister is on the mend. Try to take things one bit at a time, I know that there is so much to do, but you need to take care of yourself as well.
Hugs

| Dawn, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. My family has been through something similar this year. My grandparents both passed away four months apart...barely time to adjust to the first crisis before the second began. Like Jonni says, a probate attorney can help so much with the paperwork, leaving you free to grieve and take care of your parents' personal things. I'm glad your sister is doing so well...coincidentally, my sister also has MS. Best wishes and sincere sympathy to you and your family. |

Thank you all so very much. I am feeling pretty down tonight as I try to prepare myself for my mother's funeral tomorrow. I didn't get time to deal with the loss of my father and I think it is really going to break my heart when were go to the cemetery. I just can't believe they are both going to be there forever.
Thank you for your advice. I have an appointment to see my attorney to help handle all of the trust & estate stuff. I feel very exhausted thinking about it. My siblings have been a bit pushy already and I've asked them to back off about it for now.
I pray we can all have a Merry Christmas and a happier 2012.
