As I mentioned yesterday, lots of people ask if they can help. It is actually more helpful if, instead of asking the generic question, you are specific in your offer to help. In the early days, I had so much on my mind that anything extra was just too much. I had so much to do. But my friend MJ did something that I so deeply appreciated, and it was a lot of help. She told me that if I needed to sell anything that she could do it for me. I told her right away that I would take her up on the offer. She was standing by, just waiting for her orders.
I think the first thing she did was haul off our landscaping trailer. She sold that rather quickly. Another thing she did was to research the value of MH's car. I sold that right away. She sold 3 bicycles, bike racks, etc. As I was going through the house, she was either selling something or taking it to be donated. That was a HUGE help to me! To be able to get this accomplished without having to worry about it was such a blessing. I had total confidence and trust in her. As she sold things, she would deposit the money into my savings account. Not having that hassle was a tremendous help!
