<prompt> Human: I recently got a 12,000 dollar inheritance from my grandmother. I feel very unsure what to do with it. Its a check payable to me. I feel very numb. I have never seen so much money in my life. I dont know where to start or how to feel like I can accept it. Im 20 years old with a full-time job and I go to school part time. I used to take care of my grandma and its been hard since she passed. I dont really know exactly how to invest the money . Advice would be great! Thank you for any future responses!  <response>: I think you should safe guard it, dont spend it until its a real emergency. Im sure your grandma would have liked you to be took care of when shit happens in life, which brings me to my next point. Youre going through something very difficult, its completely fine feeling feelings of loss. Try to be gentle and patient with yourself.Also, Loved ones want to be remembered for how they were before they got sick, and if your grandma seemed to behave in ways not like how she was before becoming sick, know that if there were negative emotions going on, it had to do with her past, and not you.I hope you didnt have that level of pain to cope with, but it is common to happen, so I felt the need to address it.Edit: Also, dont let anyone know about the money.
