Updating my resume [View all]

I lost my position five years ago because there was no money to keep me. (One partner stole from another and then died.)

The first 3 years, I volunteered by working pro bono on two major cases as an attorney with another attorney. I couldn't find a paying position.

I did 1-2 cases for a pittance.

I haven't "worked" at all since the beginning of 2014. I moved in with my father January to take care of him. He died in April and I couldn't get a job until now because I "inherited" his house and it took more than a year to get rid of the clutter, clean 14 rooms, and make repairs for its sale.

How do I translate that to a resume? I've been really busy; I just don't have any references or salary to prove it.
