My husband of 29 years passed on, on Tuesday I think.(Actual moment uncertain.) We've been separated for about 7 years, and 'legally' separated for about 2. He's been ailing but didn't inform me or daughters of the seriousness, of which his doctor was aware, so this is 'shocksville' for us.
The family is fairly widely disbursed, and some here may recall 'problems' among family members as well as a lengthy 'dispute resolution' process between me and my husband. I am now in the position of 'decider in chief' for arrangements, which continually have to be coordinated with and signed off on by daughters (and outside family.) (A BIG dispute was 'resolved' last night: Which/where funeral home.) My husband and I were in touch recently, working on family and health matters in a constructive way.
So I, daughters, son in law and daughter's guy, visited funeral home today to make plans/arrangements for next week. Just heard some kerfuffle happening, apparently/allegedly through older (troublesome) daughter, about family members not being happy about dates we chose. We discussed and balanced as we could, hadn't been told this family branch could NOT attend if Monday and Tuesday, but just that would be EASIER, less burdensome for them, if would be Tuesday and Wednesday. They've got funds, could EASILY fly, so this is a 'dispute' about which I am not sympathetic, and also suspicious.
Hope to avoid more 'shit on a biscuit.'
