    Emma - just wondering how your Aunt Virginia is doing and the rest of the family. I've not been on much so not sure you could be away at the funeral. All have been in my thoughts and prayers since this tragedy.

    Oh no! How did I miss this thread until now? I am so sorry, dear Emma. I can't imagine how one person could endure this twice, especially at 80 years old. Cathy sounds like she was my kind of person. My condolences and prayers are with you and the entire family.

    Now it gets worse. There was no provision in my cousin's will for her mother. The house was left by my late cousin to her daughters, who told my aunt that they were the only ones who were mentioned in the will.

    I feel so sick. I don't know what will happen to her.

    Are you telling me that the daughters will not allow their Grandmother to go on living there?! Cathy probably did not mention her mother in her will because she assumed that Virginia would die first! How old are the daughters?

    The daughters are in their late 20's and early 30's. I don't know what to do. If no one will provide for her, she will live with me. There will be a place for her here.

    Emma, you have my full permission to use the whack-bonk stick on those ungrateful brats. Does your aunt have some money of her own that she can live on? I assume she is at least getting social security money.

    Thanks, honey!

    I am not sure what her financial situation is right now, and I don't think she does, either. She has lost her family with her daughter's death, and if she loses her home and her granddaughters as well through THEIR actions, then she has lost everything.

    It just breaks my heart.

    My heart is breaking for your poor aunt. I can just imagine the mental fog and confusion she must be in right now. How is her physical health? I've known elderlies who have crashed under stress like this. Hugs for you too, Emma, this has to be taking a toll on you too.

    My aunt is very fragile, and she was very dependent upon my late cousin.

    You can imagine what she is going through, PJ.

    You and your entire family are in my thoughts and prayers. ((hugs))

    Thank you for letting us know, Emma. I was just wondering and she and all of you will continue in my prayers. Hopefully those granddaughters will not be selfish, but it's good know that she can be with you if they are. God will take care of any meanness or selfishness if that happens. You may never know about it, but He does, and that is all that matters.

    Peace to you,

    One house left to several daughters--they can't all use it. It wouldn't make any sense for them not to have their grandmother live there.

    Peace and comfort to you and your family, Emma.

    Dear Emma, I have no idea how I missed this thread. I think that it must have started while I was gone. I am so very sorry for your loss, and my heart breaks for the grief that your aunt is experiencing. Although I don't have children, I have friends who have lost their children and the thing that I always hear them say is that parents should not outlive their children. I think that it must be a devastating type of grief. Sometimes it just so difficult to even try to begin to understand how something so tragic can happen to such innocent people.

    Surely the daughters will see that their grandmother is in need - in need of so many things, but especially security. To lose her home now would simply compound a tragedy. I cannot imagine anyone doing that. I can understand why your cousin did not mention your aunt in her will, I think. Andy's mom is 91 and I must say that we have not named her in our will, either. Like your cousin, it has never occurred to us that his mother could possibly outlive us. No one ever wants to face their own mortality and most of us don't want to consider premature death due to any cause.

    Your aunt is certainly in my prayers, as you are - always.

    Love,
    Betty
