So sorry for your loss. The suddenness of such a thing must be indescribable.

I can't imagine a better way to go... but the worst thing to wake up too.

Sorry for your loss MW.

Thank you again everyone.

I didn't sleep last night.

JUst found out this morning from an attorney friend of my father's that if the estate is less than $201,000, then the spouse gets all of it. I'm not totally opposed to his other daughter getting some money out of it, I just didn't want to buy her out in order to stay in MY house. Long story about her situation, but it's a relief knowing that we don't have to move, especially with a dog and chickens.

I'm glad that is cleared up for you. I know that is a big weight off your shoulders.

Sorry to hear that. I pray Jesus will comfort you through this.

No, but his ex-wife is a ruthless rhymes-with-witch.

Husband, Wayne, was a musician in his youth. Traveled around the Midwest and Ontario (he has jammed with the band Rush) and his ex-wife was afraid that he would leave her, so she somehow got herself pregnant (somehow without him being in the county)

. Since the child was born in wedlock, neither he nor the hospital nor his parents ever suspected anything. However, ex-wife drank while pregnant and her daughter who is close to my age is mentally handicapped and on SSI for her mental disability. So even though she is round 30, she has the mental capacity of a 10 yr old, an ill-mannered 10 yr old. Well, her mother the ex-wife is her conservator and since their own money is tight, they'll be trying to get what they can from it.

If his daughter from that marriage were responsible, I wouldn't mind so much, but she spends her SSI checks on marijuana and guys who take advantage of her. Wayne did try to help her for many years, financially and in non-financial ways, but he said he was going to stop giving money to her if she continued to spend the money on the Idiot Boyfriend of the Month. Well, after she asked for $200 to pay some bills and gave it to Boyfriend of the Month to buy CDs (claimed he was going to start a DJ business and left her shortly after) he made good on his threat. Shortly after that, Wayne got injured and had his own issues with workman's comp and medical bills so he couldn't have helped her anyway.

Again, I don't mind her having SOMETHING but after I pay Wayne's medical bills and get caught up on credit cards and whatnot, there will be almost nothing left besides the house and the truck. I need both.

Sigh. It's starting to sink in. I just feel drained right now. And I have a headache.

I am so sorry. It is bad enough to lose someone without having to deal with the financial aspects as well. Then you throw in crappy relatives and it really gets to be a pain. Hang in there. You have a lot of people praying for you.
