So very difficult .. but you seem to have handled it all so well - and she got what she wanted, and you were able to clarify things to make life for your father easier.<br /><br />Our mother hadn't left any instructions ... but we had 5 1/2 years to talk about it .. and on occasions I did - but only the basics ... as I could guess the rest and put those ideas to her - she agreed ... and I think was relieved there wasn't a discussion as such ... we just nattered and confirmed certain points ... so our conversation just flowed without worry. I do count myself very lucky .. <br /><br />So pleased for you though - this worked out in the end and satisfied the family ... cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5509673636575711646.post-43978624666819645932015-04-17T06:18:37.080+02:002015-04-17T06:18:37.080+02:00Those sound really difficult conversations!
