Would you consider yourself a nervous Nellie?

No worries or nerves here. Right around the time both parents died (same month and same year from different reasons) and I had to do all the stuff with 2 funerals and dealing with 4 a**h*** brothers, I found my strength. One cannot be a nervous nellie while also being in medicine as a fast decision maker.
Dusty, my condolences on the loss of your parents, so close together! That must've been really tough. Dealing with arrangements for one funeral is hard enough, especially when one is grieving. Adding your four brothers to the mix must've been extremely trying. Apparently you are a strong woman. I raised my son mostly on my own and with each challenge (and there were many) I gained more and more strength.

My experience after my husband died (and really while he was dying) was the most stressful in my life due to his ex and a couple of my step children who did not want to honor his living will and tried to undermine me after he died (re: when to have the funeral). My late DIL's grandmother and grandfather, who were spouses, died within a week of each other. Both were hospitalized and the grandmother went first. They never told the grandfather, but felt that he sensed it.
