My lovely Dad is beginning to... fade away. While it's not unexpected,
we've buried our heads in the sand for a while and we now, as a family, find ourselves in a place when we need to start having difficult conversations & make plans for the now, and the after. We're all talking about how Da will be helped in these last few weeks and we've managed to get his thoughts, hopes and wishes into a coherent plan.
The main issue, now Da knows what he wants, is what the practical things are after he passes. Like so many of their generation, my parents have always done the stereotypical male/female roles. Da has always dealt with all the financial things, taken the bins out and Mum has perfected a number of recipes, got mud out of t-shirts, run the house on a daily basis and done the nurturing stuff.
If / when Da passes away, I need to help Mum get the confidence & ability to run the house, deal with bills and upkeep of the house. How do I do that? She's not computer savvy and has no idea what needs to be done / paid / scheduled. Has anyone any advice on how to guide her through the practical things?
Thank you in advance
TL;DR: what day-to-day stuff does Mum need to sort after Dad dies?
