The Costs of Dying
Dying can be expensive. Mom and me planned on this, and I have spent the last months consolidating and paying off her expenses. I actually did a good job of clearing out many of her debts, but some remain. One of the things we did was to add me to all of her checking and savings accounts, which gave me legal authority to handle those accounts and pay her bills even as her condition worsened.
The banks have been less than entirely cooperative since her death, though. Two have been overly quick at taking steps that have cost me money or taken it out of my hands entirely. This has made it more difficult than I wished to pay her End of Life expenses.
Some of you have donated money to help, and I thank you with all my heart. I am asking for more help with the expenses, though, and have set up two crowd funding campaigns. If you have not had a chance to donate, I hope you will take the time to consider them.
