ray and all;
I am in the same boat as you - I KNOW EXACTLY how you feel; Jim's children get everything and they are not sharing. Not sure what the lawyers will tell them they "should get". Not sure what will happen when it really comes down to "taking" more from our home; the house is actually mine, but we were looking at selling it and buying a townhome or patio home, so we could travel and not have the upkeep; have 1.5 acres and lots to mow! There are 10 of us that live here, and either my brother or my house was where all the parties are at, because of the size. It just is not the same without Jim here; the partyness is gone - not having anymore. Family wants to have a bonfire, reminisce about Jim - may only do that, but it will be hard. Maybe it will help me get through some of this greif.
His kids knew we were going to be married this year, but doesn't matter to them.
Why do they all feel they have to be so mean and selfish? Like I said before Ray, I hope Patty's kids took more than just material things to remember their Mom by; you had posted one other time they took the TV's, vcrs etc - how cold is that; I am sorry for you; no feelings involved except their own.
Don't know what made me think of it, but realized I don't know where the key is for the new riding lawnmower! Jim took care of all of that; cars, insurance on them, "gas powered" things, garage stuff. I am lost. I can use the other push one I guess; get spoiled using the rider. Power washed both decks last fall, bought the stain, but never got it done. The "cancer" took priority over everything. Just wanted to get him better and move on with our future. His life was our only concern.
To have to move during such a raw emotional time; my heart breaks for those of you going through that. Have enough to worry about and grieve without that. I hope I can afford to say in my house. The bills don't go away - they keep coming and coming and coming. Like Carrie, we were to be married this year also, so do not have any benefits. My salary alone is not even close to what Jim and I made together. It just plain sucks.
georgia; I drive past places we went together so often and just cry and my stomach just hurts; I can picture us there and enjoying ourselves. It's a pain that cannot be described. Didn't realize Johnny passed away the same day you moved out; the strength needed to manage that. Many blessings to you.
Peace and strength to all of us - my "new" friends
