Hello everyone,<\/p>\n
Sorry for my absence – I have been trying to keep my head above water in dealing with all this.\u00a0 Trying to work, navigate legal issues, deal with my household, my elderly mother, an upcoming trip, etc…….. Needless to say, it has been a balancing act.<\/p>\n
It was Tom’s wishes that I have a video memorial in his honor so that we all had a chance to say good-bye – I would like to do that when “he can join us”.\u00a0 Apparently, getting him cremated and getting his remains has not been an easy task.\u00a0 The legal paperwork I sent in giving me permission to make decision upon his death is currently being reviewed by their “legal department”.\u00a0 Once that is complete, they will contact me to make further arrangements.\u00a0 Who knew it would be so hard to get someone’s remains?\u00a0 I will keep you all posted.<\/p>\n
I have a vacation scheduled to Florida at the end of this month.\u00a0 I really would like to have all this handled by the time I leave so that I may use my time away to “rejuvenate” my weary soul.<\/p>\n
I am currently trying to deal with my mother as well.\u00a0 She is 85 and has some severe mobility issues.\u00a0 She should not live on her own anymore.\u00a0 I either need to put her house up for sale and find a suitable retirement home for her or find someone that can live with her and help care for her.\u00a0 She is not liking either option basically because she doesn’t want to part with any money.\u00a0 I am unable to live with her and provide her full-time care (for many, many, many reasons) -I know that seems strange since you all know me as a caregiver, but it just isn’t something that can be done right now.\u00a0 Needless to say, somedays it feels as if everything is happening at once.
\nPlease know that my thoughts are with you all – I will keep you all posted.<\/p>\n
Thank you for your patience,<\/p>\n
