Sue, I'm so sorry for your loss.
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

The status is NOT quo.
Oh Sue, I just saw your post. I'm so incredibly sorry. I also am a person who deals with grief and stress by shifting into logistics mode, so I completely understand that. I hope you have good people around you who can be there for you through this terrible time.

Take care of yourself, Sue.
And I know it's a bit after-the-fact, but I recommend the book "When Someone Dies" -- there's a Kindle edition on Amazon, and it's super helpful on all sorts of practical issues.

Dear lord, Sue - that is a horrible chain of events. I literally gasped out loud when I read your post. Thinking about you and your poor dad.

Sue, dear, I am only now reading your beep me, and this almost leaves me without words.
I am so, so sorry. If there is anything that we can do here from afar, please say so. And as everyone said, yes, please take care of yourself.

I saw my uncle briefly this weekend, who just lost my aunt, his wife of 66 years -- he seems so =lost=. Be there as much as possible for your Dad, Sue, or at least as much as he'll allow. (I'm getting teary just thinking of your Dad.)
