My only sister, who was 3 years old then me, died on July 28 2004. She was alone in her home and was not found until July 31st. My brother and I live in another state. We had not heard from our sister for a few days and called the police. They went to her home and found her in the hallway. She apparently died from a heart attack. She was 60 years old. We flew to MI and buried her a week later. She was in the rental business and had 19 rental homes plus her own. Now I must liquated all her properties. But its such a mess. She owes a lot of money and I think the assets will be less than the liabilities. I had to hire an attorney to take over this mess. She also had 15 cats and 2 dogs, the humane society had to come into the house and remove them. She loved her animals, but there was no other solution. Its like I'm dealing with two different people. The sister I love and a stranger. I could only stay for 10 days in MI and need to return to take care of her personal home and belongings. My personal life has many problems at the moment. My husband and I sold out business on July 14th and had plans to move to another state for retirement. Then my sister's death. But we did buy another house. So now I must pack, sell this current house, move into the new home (800 miles away), close out the paper work on the business, take care of my sister's stuff and now next week I must have surgery on my hands for carpel tunnel. And lets not forget the hurricanes in Florida. Hurricane Frances made a direct hit on my house. We had minor damage, no electric for 10 days, just another set of problems to solve. Seems like everytime I turn around another new set problems are there to be solved before I can solve any of the other ones. I'm so overwhelmed with it all. I try and take one step at a time, but help.
