Thank you all for your kind wishes. I've made an appointment with the lawyer coming next week. His kids have descended, politely, like vultures with carrion. I've given them things I know DH would have wanted them to have right now. But I'm done for anything else now. I'm going to leave for Florida the end of the month and take the next six months to recuperate then come back and ready the house for sale.

Boy I hate to be Debbie Downer, but who else has keys to your house? I almost feel bad posting this but I'm going to let it rip anyway. Rest, recuperate and grieve as needed.

My neighbors have the key and I have an alarm system. I'm going to change the code, too.

Bless you, I'm sorry for your loss, zib... The love/commitment/friendship you offered his last year(s?) here were honorable...I know (via your posts about it all...) that it was hard, but you did a commendable job taking care of him. He knew your selfless love, the gifts you gave and most importantly....you loved each other.
(go to Florida, rest, and heal your heart..)
Peace and Safe travels..

I can tell you a funny or not story now that I can do it with a sense of humor. Two of his friends hit on me at his visitation. My college roommate just about punched the one. So I told DH's half sister who is the executor and she said the same damn thing happened to her when her first husband died. DH would not find that funny but OMG! pfft! MEN always looking for that opportunity for a good time!

DH's former stepdaughter offered to take the office cat. I was kind of leery but decided what choice do I really have? Took the cat over yesterday. She managed to lose him and she lives on a busy road. . Like I'm not upset enough and barely sleeping. Now I have visions of squished kitty.

The cat came back. She opened the door, he walked in, and looked all smug.

Zib--I don't post much, but I read every day. I have always liked your no-nonsense style. Remember that you made your DH very happy! I hope that helps you when you get sad. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Zib,
My apologies; I didn't realize your DH had passed. I don't check the EE board that often and was away when this thread was started.
I'm so, so, sorry.
I'm glad that you've retained your sense of humor; the story about getting hit on at the funeral service is classic.
Much strength over the next few months. I'm glad you are taking care of yourself.

Glad to hear kitty is safe and home.
