Ach! Dear @Exoplanet 

You are brimming with love and wisdom.

Warmth to you and for your dogs now in peace.

I will remember the feelings I have of reading your posts.

Your home sounds wonderful.

You earned it and cared for it, and it is good for your needs at the moment.

It is really sensitive and beautiful to give permission for your family to be celebrative with bling at any scattering they choose.  

I wish your family could have been better for you during your whole life journey, but it is what it is, and in that you really are a true warrior woman or crone in the sense of respected older wise woman.
