So thankful, Porcupine2, that you would take a moment to leave me a few kind words...it does help. I am sorry you, too, deal with being alone. I don't actually mind "being alone," but not to the extent that I don't have any loved ones surrounding me. My parents and I have always been close, so this is killing me.
I have never owned a house, so I don't know how I'm going to take care of it, as well as all of the things that go along with funerals and such. Lawyers will be expensive and my disability does not pay much. I will get some money left to me, but most has been spent on keeping my Mom in Assisted Living...$4500/month. I am so frightened as I have no one to go through this with me...findidng the forums has been a Godsend...finally someone who will listen to my feelings besides me and my heart...which is broken.
I see both a counselor and psychiastrist...both have been helpful, but they are also trying to get me to see a social worker 2-3 times weekly. Trouble is, neither of them know who would be best for me and my personal situations. We are all doing some research.
Thanks again, so much, for reaching out with such kind and encouraging words. It helps to know that someone out there can and did make it, even though the circumstances were difficult. I wish you all the best.
Blessings ~
