As I mentioned in an earlier post, my dad died on Sunday in hospital. I'm still waiting for his cause of death/death certificate, so I can start making arrangements. The Bereavement Office has apologised for the delay, citing busy doctors, which I don't doubt. But this delay is causing me even more distress. I can't bear the thought of dad in a fridge at the hospital. He was always claustrophobic. I'm also worried that the delay will mean dad has deteriorated too much for me too see him once he's in the funeral home. This is all really troubling me, on top of my grief. I wondered whether anyone has had a similar experience, or words of advice, please.
