Oh gosh I know what you mean. There were SO many things that my husband took care of, and then all of a sudden he wasn't here anymore.

I had to learn to do all sorts of things, like repairs around the house, to legal paperwork, to changing the furnace filter, to car stuff, you name it. I too was totally overwhelmed, and a lot of things seemed to come down on me all at once -- just like what is happening to you now. But you will get thru it. Just don't try to do it all at once. Most of it doesn't have to be done immediately. Take your time -- and if something has a deadline, ask for an extension if you need one.

You are still grieving too, so be kind to yourself. If you need help, ask friend and/or family to help you. It's hard to think clearly when you're still grieving -- at least it was for me. No way could I get thru the legal stuff and make sense of it. Get someone to help.

God bless dearheart and know you're in my prayers. Hugs, Lee
