I lost my dad to this horrible flu a week ago. I still feel stunned that it happened so fast. Now I am tasked with all the end of life details and the Trust. I am so thankful that I was able to liquidate all property before he died because I'll admit... I'm tapped out. It is pretty clear cut but I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by it. After meeting with the attorney today I think I have figured out why. Much came down to the amount of work and responsibility I have had for the past 6 years. I've just sucked it up and though I was compensated for some of it, we discussed that it was not enough compensation. So we will be meeting with the family to discuss this and it is hoped that they will be reasonable.
Now that it is all over and dad is gone, I am finally able to unload this burden. I didn't realize until I started talking about it just how hard it had been. I always keep my head down and push forward. I didn't realize I was so emotional about it. My parents really left a sh*t show of a mess and my siblings (2) did not help. I am OK with that. I just realized I was not OK with the lack of appreciation from my parents and finally from my siblings. My husband worked each day with me and was never thanked or compensated. We lived and breathed this liquidation for four years. I don't know how they are going to feel about compensating that.
