Hi Everyone,
Well it has been awhile. Have to apologize as I haven't been on in quite awhile as so much has happened since I last stopped by.
Well it has been a rough three months since my honey passed. To date I have not been able to take time to grieve since all my time has been taken up on how to survive both emotionally and financially. Not complaining as I have managed to date.
I am now classified as totally and permanently disabled and am training my fur baby as a service dog. My mind says I am 30 but my body says oh no you aren't. I am having to sell my house which in ways is a good thing as I do not want a roommate. For right now I plan on staying in an apt close by and then am looking for a tiny home to put on my brother's property so that I can be close to family. So in many ways it will be a totally fresh start.
I am hanging in there and not giving up. There was no insurance and as we were not married (even common law) no additional social security. Now it is just a matter of selling a lot of things, keeping some and trashing the rest so that when my house sells I will be ready to move.
Never thought this would happen to me as I was main support for us for over 15 years. But I still feel blessed as I have options and a wonderful moral support system from my family though they are a long way away.
Y'all take care and have a great and blessed day. Will write more later.
A tiny home sounds like a good idea, though I don't think I could do it. I have several friends that would love to try. And if you are disabled how well will a tiny home work for you. Before you make that definite decision check with the planning and zoning office in your brother's jurisdiction to find out if they are permitted. And what about a second residence on his property. You sure wouldn't want to go to the expense of doing this then find out later it is not permitted.
How wonderful that your dog can be trained to help you!
Keep us updated on your progress, Dusti.
