Warm wishes for a speedy blessed result to come from this tragedy. My thoughts are with you family and your DH.

I feel for you loss. My father passed in May of 2007 and brother that my folks had constantly bailed out of one problem after another managed to take almost everything, including my parents home that was free and clear. He was setting everything up to place my mother in a nursing home when two of my sons went to visit her. Long story short my mother now lives with me. He may have taken everything but he has lost much more. He no longer has a family and I know my father is smiling down at me for taking the high road and doing the right thing. While I do fantasize from time to time about what I would like to do, I continue to do what is right and I know that makes me a better person. Continue to do what is right and I'm sure things will work out for you.

Opa has it right, take the high road and you may think you have lost, but over time, you will see you actually won, and not in material ways.

Footnote: The reason I wanted that dance card holder from my grams was because as a child she used to sit there and tell me stories of the ladies in our family that used it and the grand dances they attended and what a fantastic time with the food and drink. the whole fantasy of it all is such an awesome memory of a woman I love greatly.

I am so sorry to hear about this sudden loss to your family. My heart goes out to both of you. Your poor hubby probably hasn't had a lot of time to let it settle in with his other family members being royal pains. I do hope things work out where you can get the house in your name and are able to pay the mortgage. At least you do have his good sister and I'm sure she feels the same way about you guys too. She's greatful to have you too.

So sorry to hear about the loss of your FIL...Your family is in our prayers. You just can't imagine how hard it will be when you lose a loved one til it really happens. We lost my BIL in Feb. at 49yo...The family is still in morning over it.
And I can totally relate on the folks showing their true colors after a death.

Take care of your DH and be his total support, Cindy

I'm sorry for your loss, it is always hard to lose a loved one this time of year and to have family acting like idiots makes it harder.

I'm sorry for your loss. And I'm with other posters who said - there's always something. My mother left very little and my sister decided to be a pill about even that. We're still around about it 2 years later. I have drawn from this experience as the executor 1) don't name a family member as your will administrator, and 2) detail everything out, and 3) review the will and any other final instruments (living wills, etc.) every year.
