My name is Ellen and I have just lost the love of my life (Kyle McCollum). We never got married, for many dumb reasons, and we had not prepared ourselves for this situation... he had said for years on his birthday that he was 29...again... (even though this Sept 8th he turned 51)

 

His family is mostly long distance & I may need to call on them to travel to help close his accounts. I do not want to add financial hardship on any of them.

 

I have to arrange for his cremation as soon as possible.

 

I am sure there will be big hospital bills for his almost 3 week stay in ICU while he waged an extreme battle to cling to life to be able to return to me & everyone. (I am hearing that this may not be a factor/concern, but I just don't know yet)

 

I will need to remove his belongings from where he lived... (he said my house was too small for both of our amounts of stuff... now I get to see how right he was... , and he worked about 60 miles away from my place pre pandemic with either Seattle or Bellevue inbetween) I paid his Oct rent early from my savings, when I got his stashed Sept rent paid on the 20th... I am sure that is in his bank account, but I have no idea when I can get that...

 

I am merely trying to process all of this while suffering the worst grief I have ever endured.

 

I hate to ask, but I know I can not handle all of this alone. And I thank you for anything you can spare.
