Hi Brenda,
Welcome to the site. Sorry that you had to find us all here and I’m sorry also to hear about your mum, but you have come to the best place for support and help and will get a load of each from everyone here. We’re a friendly bunch as you can see and please do not feel rushed or anything to post stuff. Post as much or as little as you want to or are comfortable with about stuff. As far as you being properly registered and all that, yep, you are ready to go! Looking forward to hearing more from you.
My best to you and your mum,
Gavin
