ABSTRACT
In the first few days after a parent's death, you can feel as if your life is suddenly filled with unwanted responsibilities, both for other people and for yourself: Making the right decisions all the time is not possible, but having some idea of what decisions will need to be made and what the consequences of different choices will be, can help you in picking your way through the minefield of these earl~ and at times seemingly impossible, days. Take it easy on yourself; try not to rush into decisions that can wait for later; try not to take on more then you can manage, and try to take your own needs seriously as well as trying to meet everyone else's.
