utilities and expenses

Donation protected
I need help covering utilities and expenses that my pay checks are not covering this November, December and possibly January. I have sold several of Andy's collectables to make it this far. $5-10-20 dollars will help. I don't want to be a burden which adds to my depression. Candice and Jordan have covered several of my bills.

Andy passed away in May of a heart attack. I came home from work and he was just sitting in his chair with the dogs around him with the TV on.  The person that i shared 38 years of my life with was gone. I miss holding his hand the most. Andy's life insurance did not go as far as I needed.  

I came home from work in July to the theft of Andy's corvette from our driveway. Andy was always doing something to that car. He took it to car shows so he was always cleaning, looking for better parts and wondering if he should have a new mural painted for it. Andy may have loved that car as much as a family member. The Dallas police found the car completely stripped. Two wonderful friends payed the impound and towing fees and the costs to get the car back home.

I have been fighting depression since July.  I am being treated for depression at the VA. My job is safe thanks to the doctors writing a letter to obtain FLMA. The bad news is that I do not have any leave so if I have more than one bad day, I do not get paid for that day.  Our 38th anniversary was 10/30. I did okay that week. The next week I woke up everyday crying. I talked to Candice and Jordan, they want me to come live with them.

I started attending Grief Share, a program set up to help those grieving with the loss of a loved one. There is good information in the lessons. The people at Woodway Baptist church have been very supportive and are great listeners.

I will have an estate sale in January. This is the soonest the ladies could schedule me for a sale. They do all the work of pricing, organizing and sales so I will not have that worry. 
I am putting my house up for sale. I don't know how long the sale will take.
