I lost my husband of 27 years to lung cancer on June 29, 2012. He fought a hell of a fight for 4years and 3 months. He was the most optimistic joyful person i know. He was always the one that kept me hopeful and optomistic. The last 6 months of his life I watched him change so much physically. He was in intense pain, lost a tremendous amount of weight and the last three months literally fought for each breath. I watched him beg doctors to do more to help him.
Well the last two weeks…

I called the car company and they said because he died and my name wasn't on it and had no power of attorney, they wanted it back. But I told them I would fax them the necessary info (i lied and said I had a power of attorney). But I went to the lawyer office that day (thank God I had money) and she drafted up a Widow's Allowance, which gives us rights for one year up to $10,000. It was crazy but I was able to keep it for a while. I ended up getting another car anyway..ljust didnt want to see a constant reminder. It will get better...Sabra

Sabra said… Hello Lostwithouthim...I am so sorry for your loss. What a story..similar to mine. Stay strong, lady. The repo man came for my car one month after he died because HE DIED! My name was not on it, I was paid up but because he died, they wanted it back.

I need to learn how to manuver this site. Just not sure how to send a private message.
I am wondering where I'm getting the strength from. My faith has become stronger, but I don't know how I am doing this. The days are going by fast. Too fast. I keep putting one foot in front of another thinking ..."he'll take care of this when he gets back....."
But he's not coming back. Everytime I think about it I cry. Sometimes I think he got the better deal. I'm here just trying to get out of bed every day.
