My brother from another mother and his wedding...
Comments (34)"Should I say something to my brother the groom? Or just keep quiet as to not cause any drama?" Nope...don't say anything. Keep quiet. Let it go. Your poor brother is caught in the middle between his bit** of a mother and siblings that he probably wants to include. Let him enjoy this time without any added stress from a family fight. You and the other siblings should go out to a nice dinner and toast your brothers happiness....See MoreIt isn't just his death
Comments (8)Hi NitePatrol: I'm so sorry of your loss to a careless driver. Do I hate it when people drive and use the cell phone! The worse drivers are the ones with cell phones on their ears. Early death of a husband will happen to all of us. Statistics showed that women outlive men by 7 years. I'm so sad by your grief, NitePatrol, and the only thing that I can say to myself if the same happens to me is, "Be a force of love, so that I can join my husband in heaven." For any loss, there is a gain, if we reach out for it. glad that you reach out, because there are many of us who care and feel for what you are going through. The best I can say is, "NitePatrol, find a gain through this loss. There are many ways: care and provide for yourself, and give yourself what your husband would want to give you right now." We can get through Anything in life if there is a reason behind it. In this senseless situation of life taken away by a boy and his cell phone, it's really hard to find a reason. But there is one: "to be a force of love, gain, and positiveness despite the carelessness, loss, and negativeness of life." NitePatrol: You can't let "Badness" win, you have to overcome it with the goodness inside you to go on loving, and doing good to yourself, no matter how much "Badness" destroyed you. "Badness" here is careless driving, be it drunken, or talking on cell phone. I'm behind you 100%. There's a book, "Hellow from Heaven" which will comfort you. I did an extensive research on Near-Death-Experiences after the deaths of my brother and father. One NDE said, "our sorrow and pain in life is like a grain of sand in the vastness of incredible joy and happiness in heaven" Yes, it's a grain of sand - best to brush it off, and focus on the ocean of relief in heaven where your husband resides. The past only hurts us if we hang on to it....See MoreYoung wife 40. Sudden death
Comments (3)I'm so sorry for your loss. Sometimes I to think the kids are handling the death better than I am. One year before he passed, I graduated with my masters degree and have a really good job and career, I to feel that my husband didn't get a chance to enjoy the fruits of my labor, especially all that he sacrificed and had to put up with while I was in school. I have a 14 year old boy to which has had difficulty with dad's death, especially at his age. Dad and our son were just starting to bond on a adolescent level when he passed. My heart aches for him that he needs his dad right now. I know we are not given more than we can handle, so someone must think I'm a strong person, at times I don't feel so strong. My kids are my life and my focus, if it weren't for them I would be a mess....See MoreMy Brother Could Loose His Furniture
Comments (3)Usually, the contents of a rented house belong to the tenants unless the house was furnished to begin with. I doubt the furnishings would be included in probate as they are things the family purchased to live there. If the house is deeded to the stepmom or willed to her or owned jointly, she would end up with the house but not the contents. It would probably be worth it to have dad put in writing that the house was unfurnished and/or enter into a written rental contract. In any case, if she wanted everyone if your dad passes before her, she would still have to go through the process of evicting them... as long as they pay their rent & she accepts it, they can stay. If she refuses the rent, she would need to proceed with an eviction process. She would also have to lie in court documents to claim that the property in the house belongs to her and she would have no proof (receipts) to prove it. You might want to consult an attorney for actual legal advice....See Moreada33r
