Yes, there are certain things that have to be taken care of immediately. I thought of my role as helping him, in a way. But after plowing through his accumulated papers, I came home and shredded a bunch of extraneous paperwork I'd kept. Don't want my son to have to go through all that mess!

Like: what showed up at the front porch!? Is there an actual mourning period where the legalities surrounding the death of a loved one can be placed on hold? I can’t imagine being able to ration and shuffle through sundry legal papers when the love of your life has just passed; how awful!<br /><br />Still and all, this one sounds great!
