It’s been ages since I was last here on LJ, but I’m sorry she had to go through this and very glad that she had you. How’s she been doing since he passed?
She's doing as well as can be expected. I have to keep reminding myself to give her some amount of grace because this is the first time she's living on her own and having to navigate doing for herself the things John did and didn't take the time to teach or tell her about.
That feels familiar. I’m in that boat, and so is my neighbor. It’s a lot to take on when you’ve been dependent on someone else for so long for those other things, and you never think about it until the person who took care of it is gone.

They live in a tiny studio house/apartment, so I can't imagine having to stay with the dead body for 2 additional hours waiting for it to be removed.
