Carolyn here. I’ve had more opportunity to grow lately as I’ve launched into all the legal and business aspects that need to be addressed as a result Michael’s passing. This is massive, WAY more then I would have thought, had I ever thought about it to begin with, which I did not. It’s requiring multiple appointments and communications with my bank, accountant, Centrelink, Superannuation and ASIC as I update and restructure all that needs to be done. Which is pretty much everything. Who knew? And the paperwork, OMG. The paperwork required for pension (which I may not even get) and bereavement (also which I may not get), plus restructuring the company and bank account changes is off the charts. My very right brain doesn’t even grasp some of this. When requirements and procedures are explained to me, it sometimes seems like these people, all very nice and patient, are speaking another language. I just don’t get it, dealing much better with matters of the heart! So all this is a great opportunity to consciously not give my peace away to all the ‘red tape’. . . which, admittedly, I’ve been borderline a couple times already, and it’s far from over.
I think the common theme that seems most apparent is the level of security, of checks and cross checks, which would suggest the sizeable amount of fraud some people attempt. It’s sad, really, that level of consciousness. What we give out we must experience . . . what we sow we reap. That is a universal law. My heart goes out to them, in their desperate acts of ignorance. They have a lot of growing to do. We’re moving into a time where we will only be able to speak truth, because anything less will not be able to exist.
And in midst of all this, my credit cards were cancelled because Michael was the primary card holder, so the automatic payments didn’t process, including my phone, and keeping that active turned into a real military operation. Plus I was unable to bring up or download anything on my computer, which proved to be because the modem needed replacing. At least that required no certified paperwork.
So why am I creating all this, you’re probably wondering, not that the legal processes would be any less going
