Whether you have just started caring for your parents or just need a place to talk, we're here.
Mom died four weeks ago. For three weeks I have been dealing with
paperwork, phone calls, and going through moms tons of papers.
Also, have to try to avoid foreclosing on
person that bought moms commercial property. Stoped making payments
five months ago. I took a break Saturday and Sunday to do what I wanted.
Monday morning we volunteered so only a couple if phone calls were made. Today I'm physically too tired. Plus there's not a lot left I can do till
I get the court letters.
My anxiety is coming back. Scheduled a colonoscopy fir late June.
Nervice. Hate the prep and there is chance of precancerous polyps or less likely cancer. Worried about husband going somewhere alone again.
Leaving car lights on and I have to come get him. We have towing service.
But last time he mentioned me coming to get him.
I'm happy mom died. But I'm starting to see just a long road of taking care of things. And having to deal with difficult brother.

It seems like forever now but it will all get done eventually.
I think you could use a lawyer.
No one likes the prep of a colonoscopy; trust me, you're not alone. It's one of those tests that just have to be done, PIA as they are. All joking aside. You'll be fine. Stop worrying and don't be nervous!
Yes, there are a lot of things that come up after we lose a parent; more so after our last parent passes away.
You can get through this, we all can. It just takes time and effort.
Continuing hugs.
I do them in order, no matter how much I hate it.
and I don't waste energy on things that are out of my control
What used to flip me out was making difficult phone calls...sometimes I would have to rehearse them in the mirror...or write it down.
and it worked.
We can always do far more than we think we can.
One step at a time...
And good job on taking a break over the weekend.
