| I am still in Oregon taking care of Dad's estate, though I will be coming home for the weekend tomorrow and then returning to Oregon on Monday. Between lawyers and banks and Social Security and death benefits, it's a lot and I am slightly overwhelmed. I do see a small light at the end of the tunnel and am walking toward it ... no, not that light. I just wanted to let y'all know that while I haven't commented I have read all your comments on Dad's passing and they really mean a lot to me. Thanks, and I hope to "see" you all soon. |

It's Just Me ...

It's a lot of work to be executor, especially at the beginning, but hopefully you can let the lawyers handle a lot of it once the initial setup of the estate occurs.

ReplyDeleteVery bestest of wishes to you
at this time. My brother handled all
this for our family and I so appreciated it.

Oh, you betcha! Always so much to do! Keep breathing....deeply....in, then out! That's the way!
ReplyDeleteThat was me telling you to breathe...I hate it when I stay anonymous!
ReplyDeleteMy father was my best friend and supporter - ever. As a visitor to your site; take all the time you need.
ReplyDeleteWishing you well as you plow through the bothers, legal and otherwise, of closing your father's estate.
ReplyDeleteBeware the light ahead isn't an oncoming train!
Safe trips there and back again, too.
I know I can speak for us who read your blog that we were not worried about your absence.
ReplyDeleteWe understand that there is a funeral to attend and an estate to sort out. Hopefully a lot of the mechanics were put in place before hand and all one has to do is pull the lever. It can be daunting to settle things and keep all parties happy. Slow and steady goes the race.
We will see you in the light and the end of the tunnel. We will continue wear we left off no worse for wear.
See ya soon!

It's a lot of work and it can take a long time to get it all settled. Hope you have some time to relax and breathe and take care of yourself. It will all get done eventually so don't worry.
ReplyDeleteIt can be truly exhausting settling everything. When my step-father died I felt like I had to be both him and me for some time. But it all gets worked out. Take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteMy brother has named me executor of his estate and I'm dreading having to deal with that when he eventually kicks the bucket. He's younger than me, so it shouldn't be anytime soon. I haven't even made a will yet. I should probably get on that soonish.
ReplyDeleteHope all is going smoothly and you’re able to get some rest and have time to focus on your good memories.
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself, it takes time to work through the details.
ReplyDeleteOMG I cannot imagine.
ReplyDeleteHope all goes well. I know it’s silly to say, but take it easy and that light at the end will become closer and closer…
See ya soon!

Let me know if I can be of help - I'm retired from Social Security and I would be glad to assist in any way. Take your time and don't stress out. You're going through a lot.
ReplyDeleteWishing you the best as you manage your Dad's estate. Sometimes things that should be easy are more difficult than need be, especially dealing with bureaucracy - usually due to a bureaucrat!
ReplyDeleteI don't envy you your toils and travails; been there, done that, got the t-shirt. I do trust that everything goes smoothly.
ReplyDeleteOh, sweetpea! Just catching up with Blogville and reading of your Dad's passing! You have my heart. Sending you peace, strength, and most of all, love. xoxo
ReplyDeleteMy father died three years ago and I am still dealing with my brother still dealing with his estate. I told my niece if I have to refile my taxes one more time because of some trust that pops up out of the ether, I am going to run away to some tax haven island and become a pirate. Take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been around lately because of work, so please allow me to offer belated condolences. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Looking forward to more of your political sideswipes. Robert Hur seems to have partly used his "investigation" to undermine President Biden. This sentence stands out on Hur's Wikipedia page: "Hur has made donations to the campaigns of a number of Republican political candidates".
ReplyDeleteWhew, glad to hear you're not walking towards THAT Light. Yes, taking care of all the necessary things after a bereavement is a LOT, and especially when Grief is still so Raw and Emotions still so tender. I know going thru the possessions of my dearly departed Loved Ones had me in Tears a lot and much of it is still in Boxes stored, since, I just can't yet... and it's been a while. So, take however much Time you NEED to, process it at your own pace and take Care of you too.
ReplyDeleteGood for you! Glad for the updates
