[Guest guest]

After reading some of the responses about the POA issue, which i didn't

read all before i responded. I think that everyone dealing with the

death of a loved one needs to be supported, part of supporting is

informing as well. I am a 34 year old mother of 2 that lost her mother

20 days before my birthday, 8 days before her (my moms) birthday and

had been going through this process with her for about 3 + years from

the good to the bad and she was not a rich woman. My family was so

caught uop in the money they were of little to no help and I wish I

would have know the information that was posted about POA. My mother

had not set up her affairs to be taken care of after her death and for

some reason those things fell to me and I was lost and not being rich

myself especially since I had to stop working to help take care of her,

to would have been a help to know more information on the checking

account thing, my mother was of the mind that she didn't want to add

anyone to her account because she had a fear of someone taking all her

money and leaving her with nothing so this information might have made

it better for us both. As much as we all want to be about the taking

care of the person emotionally, i think education about the entire

process is helpful. I learned so much going throug this with my

mom. That is just my 2 cents
