My sister passed away yesterday and I’m so lost. I found documentation in her hospital drawer that she faxed to the courts on 5/19/20 granting my full guardianship over her kids. Before she only gave me temporary. She knew her days were numbered. I’m so sad.
She was in denial about her situation, even though she was in hospice since October and had IHSS since the day after my birthday in August. I can’t find her life insurance info or her arrangement information. All I know is that she wanted to be cremated.
She went online Tuesday and registered the kids for school for next year. Even though the entire hospital was locked down from visitors for the pandemic the hospital moved her to a private suite with a private entrance so we can visit her. We saw her one last time last weekend.
During that visit she told me how happy she was that the kids were with me & Shayne. We rearranged the entire house so that they would be comfortable. Our kids just got brand new leather tufted beds for Christmas and we got rid of them to make sure my niece and nephew had a bed.
She kept apologizing for invading our space and I told her that it was an honor that she trusted her kids to us. We were happy to make accommodations for them. If my kids don’t sleep on the floor, they won’t either. A few people donated money to us and we made shit happen.
We got two bunk beds and a trundle, new dressers, a mini fridge and deep freezer, washer and dryer and a few other things to make life as easy as possible for everyone living here. The kids are so happy here. I encouraged my niece to tryout for cheer and she made the team.
My nephew wanted a job so we got him interview clothes and took him out there to find a job. He got hired! We bought him work clothes and he started training the day before his mom passed. He’s doing so well.
I’m not expecting anyone to read this thread. I’m really writing it because I needed to get out how I feel. I’m exploding with sadness, uncertainty, exhaustion, confusion and I’m terrified. If you read this thread, please keep us in prayer. The state has yet to grand us funds,
and I don’t know how we’re going to afford two additional children. Best believe we are going to make it happen!!! Everything is going to be just fine.
