5 Minute Steak recipe yummy !!!
I don't know if you've heard this, but cashmere is apparently a versatile luxury gift to just about anyone that really screams "I'm thinking about you and I hope you will like this" regardless of how well you really know the recipient. I'm not sure if that was the intent behind the accumulation, but given how altruistic your mother was, I wouldn't be surprised at all if that was the case.
It sounds like you've made a lot of progress on the physically and emotionally challenging job of clearing out the space, and I'm glad that you're continuing to prevent yourself from going completely into "do everything all by yourself" mode. As you clear out more items, and continue to navigate fluctuating mental states, you might find yourself gravitating toward a transitional object that would best represent what the two of you had – and no matter what it is, I hope that it gives you peace.
Wishing you extra strength, as you summon more strength to tackle the world.
Gonging a pan in her honor. So sorry for your loss of your Mama @JUNE.
TheY call me the cashmere QUEEN.
You can take unpaid family medical leave for bereavement if you can afford it. you need to give yourself all the time you can.
I 💗Fred. He 🐈⬛ just stays nearby and quietly listens .
Always check handbags ❤️🌼
Please don't feel guilty or regret about what you should do or not do with your mom stuff. What you said about giving people joy and something from your mom is a beautiful thing. The tought that people have something from your mom and be happy with it. I hope it give you some comfort and. Some will have their first date in it. Some have finally have something nice which they never could have buy themselves. Some will wear it for their graduation. Some have a job interview in it and get the job. I want to think that your mom is happy that her great sales have a new home. And that her food will feed people. Dinners with friends or family. If you look back, thing about the joy, gratefulness and smiles from the people who accepted the gifts from your mom. It will take some time, but you'll be okay. One day there is an minute you are not thinking about your mom is gone. One point it become an hour, then a day, month etcetera. You'll always gonna miss your mom. The sun shines and the wind blows through your hairs. You inhale the fresh air and think about all the beautiful memories you have about your mom ❤️
When we dealt with my in-laws, we bought a book called How to Probate in Florida. Wondering if there is one for your state
Please keep some things June. Later you may wish you had some of the things you gave away. Just some advice.💜 a bowl.. a knife… a shirt to sleep In….
in the words of June "please keep drinking water!"
My sister is an attorney and deals with the issues you’re having right now. Especially when there’s real estate involved. Unfortunately she doesn’t work in New York. Get an attorney, they can do all the hard work and you can mourn in peace and deal with all the small stuff and your grandmother.
I’m so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you.
Again, sorry foryour loss. It takes time to get through.
Would you be interested in adopting a companion for Fred? She's about a year old, looks just like him except she has no white on her face. Same white bib, white paws, etc. She's finally used to being inside, will allow me to pick her up, pat her, etc.
My favorite bowl is actually my 2 cup glass measuring cup haha
Fred got u..we got u🥰🥰🥰
Can somebody catch me up? I missed what happened to Grandma? One minute she was crying at the window and another she’s in the hospital! Did she have a stroke? How terrible for her. The stress of losing her daughter. Is that it?
I lost my Mum when I was 19 and my Dad when I was 29. I have spent my life ensuring that I leave as little stuff for my daughters to deal with as possible. You could also consign the clothes and make a little money to cover your out of pocket expenses
A funeral home would likely be able to walk you through the steps of how and when things could be accomplished. In my city we have a Furniture Bank. They pick up and the furniture is donated to new immigrants who have nothing
1:31 OMD I have spoon envy! I need that spoon in my life!LOL You always have the koolest spoons!
Please check underneath (Like the outside bottom) of drawers. For some reason previous generations LOVED taping documents and envelopes of cash to the bottoms of drawers1 My grandma did that to a FILING cabinet! Like it's a FILING cabinet! File the damn things properly!
I only caught the end of this live stream and just watched what I missed from the beginning. Your mum seemed like a kind Christian lady and I imagine that the idea of her belongings benefiting others would align with her beliefs? Loved ones leave us physically when they pass but are still with us in our hearts and when we speak about them. Similar to a deceased artist or musician when we listen to them they are immortal. You could hit a gong bowl or tell a short story about her during your live-streams to honour her memory. This must be such a difficult time for you take care.
June, where is your boyfriend, why is he not by your side, consoling you and helping you with the tasks ahead. I actually heard him laughing in the background of this video.Your cat is there for you more than he is. You deserve way better than this jackass.
I am surprised no one has mentioned FMLA Family Medical Leave Act which should be different than bereavement leave. Now that you are the responsible party for grandma, maybe your situation would fall under that to help with taking the tume to figure things out for her.
June, you could also look into grief counseling if it gets really rough to cope. You're doing a wonderful job at being strong and dealing with everything. I'm so sorry your mom passed away at such a young age. I enjoy your channel and I enjoy budget eats.
Sending you lots of love <3
There’s a textile recycling bin run by NYC at Cunningham park on Sundays. Just need to put in a plastic bag.
i know its hard losing a parent, but eventually you will feel better because you will always find a way to "live with it".
Please be careful about letting strangers in. I'm concerned about your safety.
June-if you have Freecycle in your area you can usually just put items up together as a lot and say "must take all" and then you can get rid of things quick. There is usually a FB group for an area's Freecycle.
Hi June, thank you for your video. Btw what do you feed Fred? Definitely wet food, I see, but do you also feed kibble? How many times a day and how much per feed. Sorry to be so specific. I have a cat myself and Fred just looks so darn healthy and cute.
Would someone please tell me what Fred's meals are made of.
Sad
i dunno, you have a bunch of keys, your mom may have put some important documents and other valuables in a bank safety box. the keys are usually smaller than a normal door key.
For some of the old clothes that have holes and are good for fabric scraps – think about getting a lovely quilt (or more than one) made – a quilt or two for grandma, a quilt or two for you. I think this would be a lovely way to repurpose the well worn and well loved clothes of your mom 🙂
Would there be any of mom's stuff that you think Grandma would like to keep for sentimental value? Maybe a favourite outfit of mom's that you could put into Grandma's closet etc?
Take the time you need to grieve. For me I took a few weeks off and went back bc I needed the routine. I have found it is best in pieces bc these emotions come in waves.
I took 3 weeks off when my mum died. it wasn't enough but too much at the same time. I also only has that time to clean out her apartment. Thankfully she was broke so no finances to deal with or a grandparent to take care of. hugs
You might sell your mom's cashmere on ebay or etsy, and then use that money for something she'd have liked, a trip or a donation to a cause in her memory. Or just spend it and think about her.
I feel your pain through the video, and you have my heartfelt sympathy. It's going to sound weird, but I recommend you keep a couple things that smell like your mom, and put it in an airtight plastic bag, and store it. A year from now, you will want to remember how she smells, and pulling it out will bring your comfort (and make you cry). But it's something you can't get back once you have given everything away.
Lost my mother 5 years ago I know the struggle stilll getting things money wise together… make a check list and just keep checking things to do off
Places to check for hidden cash (I've heard of money being hidden in all of these places):
All the vents in the house
An attic or a crawl space (if the house has them)
The bottom or back side of any furniture, and the back or underside of any drawers
Check for any money hidden in the fridge or freezer. Anything wrapped in foil. (no joke!)
Behind all of the appliances (stove, fridge, washer / dryer)
In the vaccuum bag / container (no joke!)
Behind the baseboards
Hidden in pockets
Sewn into coat linings and quilts
Stuffed into shoes
In the car, if your Mom had one. Under the seats, in the door compartments, in the glove box, in the area where the spare tire is
In old purses, if she had several. Look in the lining of the purses, too.
Inside books and magazines
In boxes/containers that were once used for food. It may look like just a normal box of food, but in reality there may be no food in there at all, but there MAY be money hidden in there. Cereal boxes, tea boxes, etc. Also check in any rice bags. Money may be stuffed in with the rice.
Glass jars full of flour / rice, etc. Money may be stuffed in there.
There are probably things I'm not thinking of. Good luck. ((hugs))
