Death in the family?
I am feeling helpless – any suggestions?
My step-mom just died, she totally takes care of my dad. He is not an invalid it’s just that she did everything from food shopping to bringing home the bacon.
You see there retirement fund went up in flames a few years ago; lightning hit it. Dad can work around the yard and chop wood for the heat, but he is getting slower at this every year. He is 73 and living in Vermont. He has no income with out her and his pension is not going to cover weekly expenses, never mind monthly. And they already have a big property tax bill.
My sister and I are just getting by our selves and would love to help out but don’t know what to do.
I don’t even know if I can afford to drive my old car up to Vermont from Connecticut.
What does one do in these situations?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Well I havent expeirenced this but my friend who was like a sister to me died and it sucked. I couldnt go to the funeral I was to weak. I felt so guilty and couldnt do anything until I visted her grave. Just pray and good luck. And dont do anything reckless.
