I really, really wish I could do more than just send hugs and condolences. My heart is breaking for you, hon. I'm so sorry.

I was just a kid when my dad died, and nothing about that time was easy, but honestly, I can't imagine how much harder it would've been if I'd been expected to Adult AND mourn at the same time. No one was looking to me to sign forms or call people or empty out entire apartment units; everyone around me just pretty much let me be.

Not that I'm comparing! It'd be a pretty useless comparison to make. Losing a parent is the worst, no matter what your age. But reading about everything you've been through this past month and all the minutia that fell into your lap was, well. I'm agog.

Ugh. *hugs*
