There is no set timetable for grief. You may start to feel better in 6 to 8 weeks, but the whole process can last anywhere from 6 months to 4 years. You may start to feel better in small ways.

How old was I when my father died?

Each stage of your journey will be completely different, and as you wander through your grief, emotions will come and go. It’s been nearly 11 years since my father died (I was 18 when it happened), so I think I can safely say I’ve been through it all; the shock, the sadness, the anger, the guilt, and, eventually, the acceptance.

What happens if a parent dies without a will?

This is called an intestate estate, which means mom or dad died without a will. The beneficiaries will then be determined by state law, which dictates who inherits the money.

Why was my dad always the only man in the House?

I’ve also gone back and punished myself mentally for all the times that I wasn’t the perfect daughter, or when I was mean to my dad. My mum, sister and I used to gang up on him occasionally, because he was the only man in the house, but that’s nothing unusual and he took it in his stride.

What do deceased loved ones leave in your path?

Coins, feathers, keys, and rocks are a few of the most common objects they might leave for us. How can we find the meaning in these small gifts? If you find a coin in your path, look at its year and see if that year is important between you and your deceased loved one.

What happens when a father dies without a will?

Children’s inheritance rights are determined by state laws when there is no will. Therefore, a child may receive far less or much more than the father intended if the father died without a will. Most states give preference to surviving spouses and children when a father dies without a will.

When did my dad leave his estate to my Stepmother?

My dad passed away five years ago. He did leave a will on how he wanted his estate to be dispersed, but only if his current wife was also deceased. She was not, so she got everything. My question is: When she passes, is she required to honor our dad’s will?

Where did my dad live at the time of his death?

Thank you for your time. They resided in South Carolina at the time of my dad’s passing. When it comes to inheritance, children usually fare better than stepchildren. Your father’s wishes were honored, I’m afraid to say.
