@Kristynsmama today I've been happy😁 I've been excited about the new year. I've done some painting, and my carers turned some of my pencil drawings into posters, I'm gonna redecorate my room, and one wall is gonna be a cowboy themed wall😁. Someday are good, and some are hard. Today is good ❤ how are you feeling?

Im so glad that you are having a really good day!  You deserve to be happy and to make your room bring you joy.  My bedroom is a sloth theme because I’m obsessed with them!

@Kristynsmama Totally overwhelmed. My father died December 1st. I've been named executor of his will. I'm not sure why tbh because we weren't real close - we had just reconnected after being estranged for years. My emotions towards him feel very complicated

I live hours away - all the papers for accounts and his personal property is at his house and his wife hasn't been much help. *I feel horrible saying that* I'm trying to be extra patient and gentle with her and her daughter because I know they're grieving but some days it's harder because I'm frustrated - mostly at my own inability to figure all this legal stuff out. And lacking access to information I need. I feel incredibly stupid. I told her I want to just hire a lawyer and let them do this and she argued that she didn't think it needed to go to probate. But then she sends me pictures of things that aren't covered in his will 😩

@mytwistedsoul

im sorry to hear that your father passed away.  Losing a parent is difficult and to be overwhelmed with not only losing them but having to manage their affairs is an entirely different level of overwhelming.  Everything you feel is to be expected.

@Kristynsmama today was a hard day. I've started taking antidepressants at the end of last year and they cause heavy states in the night and then first half of the next day. Grief feels unbearable during those hours. But at least my sleep got a lot better with them.
