Oh Thank You, Job! Your words were exactly what I needed to read and I found it very reassuring.
I think one of my biggest challenges with all of this is realizing how very long it will take to resolve. And even when it does there is no guarantee how it will work out.
I do wish there would be a 'fast forward' button to speed things up.
I also see now that I put all my eggs in one basket with H. I have very little family left - deceased parents, deceased sibling, no kids (except his - my stepkids/grandkids), few friends in town. My life was busy with H, and his family and friends. Now they are gone - all of them, and I am alone.
It's become a pretty solitary existence compared to what it was. I'm getting out there but it takes time to fill in all these gaps. Good thing I don't do too bad with my own company but I still wish I could speed up this mess.
Thanks again, Job for your encouragement and support.
