First and Foremost - DebW - My Sincerest of All Condolences on the loss of your Friend . . . And my heart goes out to the children . . . AND might I suggest to YOU and may I say that - YOU CAN ONLY DO WHAT YOU CAN DO . . . AND What you are doing - by being there emotionally and supporting these children as best you can is WONDERFUL ! ! !
As for the post being depressing (although I do not know the whole story)
- HELL, I'M MORE ...... & UPSET ! ! ! that the "family" cannot help these children . . .
WOW ! ! ! I have so many questions . . . So if I may ask, it looks like YOU live in California, nothing was set-up with the hospital/hospice/county social worker(s) before your Friends passing . . . Doesn't the "Developmentally Disabled" Child have a social worker/case manager? What about the ex's family - no one is able or willing to help?
More importantly, I cannot believe that there is no one there to help these children . . . Now no promises, but if there is anything I can do to assist you to find someone out there to help you with these children - Please let me know (PM Me)and I will see what I can do . . .
