I don't think that I'm going to be able to hold myself together for any of this stuff that is about to happen. Not the meetings and especially the funeral. Maybe I'll have a stroke and die. No, I think you can do this. Hang in there. |

The meeting went better then I thought. When I'm active I seem to be OK. My mother had a lot of foresight and acted on it. She had 4 insurance policies on herself that cover everything and my mother was poor her whole life. She could manage money. I am still learning more about her and it is making me even more proud of her.

I'm glad that the meeting went well and that everything was covered. Also, I've found that when these things happen, I do better when I'm focused on doing things.

My sister wrote a tribute to my mother that I guess is to be read by the pastor at the service on Tuesday. When I read it it makes me cry even more.

Not unusual for tributes. They really bring tears to my eyes as well.

They buried my mother today. I am back at my apartment now. All my relatives have left. This is the second saddest day of my life (the first being the day she actually died). I suspect tonight is going to be very rough. Now my life will be making major changes and it scares me very much. I feel so lost and alone  |

*hugs* Yes, change can be very scary. Sorry I got home so late. The car is almost ready to drive, though not quite. I had to go shopping, then wait for awhile on a cab. (I just walked to the store in order to save a bit.) Here lately I find myself wondering how things would go if my husband's family decides to sell the property we live on now. I'm not sure how big a portion we'd each receive, maybe enough to save up and live on, for at least awhile. It's hard to get good-paying jobs over here, especially at our age.

Guess what I need to do is come up with a contingency plan or two to deal with things as they come up.

I think my age will count against me also now as for when it comes to being hired.

Crying really takes it out of you. My sister and I were both very tired very early in the evening. I just woke up from falling a sleep in my living room chair. I'm going to go to my bed soon.

Yeah, crying is rather draining. Goodnight, I hope you and your family can get some rest.

I think my age will count against me also now as for when it comes to being hired. It can in many cases. Landing a job, though, can improve one's outlook. |
