I hadn't met his family, we met at the beginning of lockdown, he had a little girl from another relationship that he was trying to maintain good contact with so we were waiting for the right time, she was the most important. Unfortunately they haven't recognised my role and I had to get my things from his hoyse give the keys back straight away, his mum started clearing immediately. They invited me to the funeral, I was mentioned as a friend who was helping him, but I've no idea what is happening with his ashes now.
I've never felt so much pain, it's unbearable
Hi Lily
That is awful but I understand where you are coming from. I have been angry about it all since Ric died. I tried Pals but they were not helpful so I gave up as it was upsetting me more than it was helping.
Try and bash it out with someone. I did eventually get over the shock of the suddenness and that became relief it was so quick and reduced suffering in the end.
Take care. Love and hugs Alison xxx
