Having just lost my Mother last week,...Dear Marsha,<br />Having just lost my Mother last week, unexpectedly, I can attest to the fact that this often brings out the worst in families. It is such a heartbreaking and difficult time, I was blindsided at the selfishness and calculated actions of other family members. I though it was to be about supporting each other in grief......not so in all families. I grieve alone, so I am not party to these things. It is reassuring to know I am not alone. Thank you for sharing this just when I needed it!<br /><br />Warmly, Kathleen <br /><br /><br />Gramspearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13242914886859278570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-818215323812390398.post-25498231016218507462015-04-04T11:27:43.090-05:002015-04-04T11:27:43.090-05:00So sorry to hear that you've lost your husband...So sorry to hear that you've lost your husband, Marsha.

What a fabulous and timely post for me. As ...Wow!!! What a fabulous and timely post for me. As you know I lost my Dad and my Sister who was SO cruel to him (that my Husband and I had to pack up our lives in Spain to come back and be with him), has been left something in my Dad's will. She has only been left a small percentage, but it will be enough that she will never have to work again. She has no idea this money is coming to her. She has assumed she was left nothing (and rightly so).I can't tell you how much this pains me; it keeps me up for weeks on end. As the Executor of my Dad's will there is absolutely nothing I can do to change this. I can only hope her guilty conscience will be her downfall every time she spends a penny of that money (but I doubt it :-( <br />Thank you for your lovely kind words over at mine. You are an angel and that's why you have such wonderful friends around you.

Very often, people don't intend to be unkind, but they don't know what to do with a single woman. As for the children who can't wait for their parents' deaths to fight over what is left, I can only believe they will reap what they sow! And, for the gentleman who's about to lose himself, I send prayers to both of them. How courageous he seems while he must be battling total terror. He is definitely a person worth knowing!
