Again, I played God Today...... (my Mom)

[KharmaTrain]

14. Been There...

...I had to make similar decisions for my mother who had been suffering Alzheimers. Having to make the decision to pull her feeding tube and sit in agony over the next week waiting for her body to finally give in. In the end I knew it was the best thing as she was no longer suffering and I knew I did all that I could to give her a "safe landing".

As far as her possessions...I guess this depends on how much of an estate she has and its value. I had trouble in trying to close my parents affairs as there were some companies (VERIZON) that still tried to hold me liable for their cellphone contract. If you don't have any of those obligations (contracts) you should be able to tie up the loose ends rather quickly and move on with your life. I'd look into a "salvage" company...these companies will go through her apartment, see if there's anything of value...so you'll get something rather than walking away and then will do a clean out.

I realize how, after all the stresses you've been through, you'd like to be as far away from all of that as you can...

Peace...
