A small rant, please forgive me... Mum died on Valentines day this year. It was awful. Then the coroner held on to her body for nearly 4 weeks before they contacted us to tell us that they're performing an inquest but releasing her body for a funeral...
They delay was just because the Tory's have reduced the number of licensed coroner's in the UK apparently so they're serving a larger catchment area, not because her death was unusual...
By the time they released her body and issued us with a Temporary Death Certificate, we had days to arrange a funeral. During this time the pandemic kicked off. We were expecting about 60 people there, we had to uninvite everyone and there were 5 of us there...
Now we still haven't heard from the funeral home regarding her ashes. We don't have the permanent death certificate and don't have a clue when we might get it. And on top of that, the solicitor that is holding Mum's original Will won't mail it to us...
Because they don't want to go to the post office right now.
I don't blame them at all, but it's as if this sh*t couldn't be any harder. We contacted the Probate office and they said they can't help, it's up to us what we do...

So we can't secure Mum's accounts, or her house or anything. And to top it off, for the the past year we've been talking to the Doctors about Mum's health regularly, questioning them when they told us she was fine, because now she's dead and they clearly missed something.
Sick of having to deal with this crap and at the same time be told I'm not allowed to grieve and I should be grateful that we got to have a funeral at all. I'm not f***ing grateful. The pain that is wedged into my heart and brain is almost more than I can take.
That's all, sorry, I just needed to get it off my chest. I woke up at 3am with visions of Mum dying in hospital again last night, it brings it back up. I'm fine though, just tired.
