Thank you, Anna. My husband had chronic insomnia for a few months before he passed. I really didn't think he would die this soon. As much as I tried to prepare myself, it was still a shock.  All I know is that I'm scared, more so than I've ever been. At least I had a job when adverse things happened before.  Just wish I had family who could jump in and take charge or at least help!!  I agree that some people sail through life with a few minor speed bumps. It just seems like every time I turn around, there is something else, and I'm really growing tired of making all the decisions!

Mariann it sounds like you have a whole lot of stuff to stress about for sure.  I wish I knew why some people get all the breaks and others like yourself cant get one!  You will definitly be in my thoughts and prayers.  I was lucky in one sense that we knew the end was coming and got most everything changed into both our names, had the will looked at and so there was no probate, no worries about what would happen.  One of the very last things I said to my husband that he acknowledged was "I'll be ok, everything is good".  He looked me in the eye and asked if I was sure.  He passed away the next morning.  I think the last few days he was awake was because he was worried about me.  I know your partner must have thought about that at the end too.  Im very sorry there wasnt that relief for them then and you now.
