I feel like i'm in limbo. Husband died in the early hours of last Wednesday less than 48 hrs after entering our local hospice after being in hospital for 3 weeks. Why does it take so long to register a death. I'm waiting for phone calls from medical examiner & registras . When my dad died in the 1980's it was exactly a week from death to burial. Mum died in 2011 & it was 2wks ..now its 3 weeks or possibly more. You would think in these days with all the technology etc it would be a lot more straightforward.I've done all I can to arrange the funeral but we cant sort out the banks..insurance companies etc until we get the death certificate.
The hospice have been brilliant..when Dave was in there for those 2 short days they couldn't have been more caring to both of us. I've had a call from them this morning checking that I'm ok & if there's anything they can do to help. I'm lucky that I've got my two sisters who live very close & plenty of friends who have offered to help in any way they can.
When people are being nice to me I always end up sobbing.i'm ok until then.
I'm keeping myself busy clearing out cupboards that I've mean meaning to do for years.
