RE: The Legacy We Leave Behind

I'm similar to you in that regard about keeping what I do personal and never saying much. There's always much bad talk behind my back, with a reliable source who insisted on telling me. I've never been one who sought validation or cared much about others' opinions of me.

“How will my mom afford her life ?”

I encountered a similar thing when my dad passed away. People voice such things not because they care but because they see it as a time when they can meddle, judge, and incite drama, not realising that they are inciting despair and feelings of despondency at the worst time.
It goes back to show how much societal pressure there is to place people in a box.

Let it all pass:)
