Thursday at 10:30 AM I get the privilege of standing in front of a judge and testifying that Maggie was my wife, and that she died, and that we didn’t have any kids. After that’s complete I’ll get a document called a Letter of Administration that will finally allow me to start closing Maggie’s accounts, filing tax returns and doing other things that have been held up by the legal system.
If I peel back my layers of frustration and anger with all who have been involved in delaying this matter for so long, I find that I feel a whole range of emotions, from sadness, to disbelief to, well, even relief.
One year ago things were so different. It’s hard to get my head around this still.
Thank goodness! I’ll keep my fingers crossed that everything goes well.
Chris, I am blown away at how alike we are travelling this path. When I get really down, I ask myself “WWBD?” It’s like we have the same thoughts going through our heads at the same time. As May approaches I find myself feeling more and more anxious. We won’t get over this but hopefully we’ll get through it. Take care, Fiona.
Chris, thank you for your posts and for putting into word what many of us feel on this journey.
Thinking of you today – hang in there. Hope all goes well.
