It took seventeen days before I could bury my husband. I decided I better think about what to do and to make a list of what needed to be done and the order it needed to be done. I decided to turn in and wait until morning to start again. I didn’t think I would sleep after all I had been through. To my surprise, I slept late in the morning. Guess I was more exhausted than I thought. Forty years of marriage and now a widow. Scary thought. Here’s the list: ? Mail, death certificates, and payment on bills; ? Change all documents with both names; ? Count number of death certificates needed (cars, banks, house, insurance, etc.) ? See about new housing, or repair the one I am in now; ? Job; ? Safety on all sides of me, house and car; ? And, Dating(?).
