My heart is broken

[stockport1965]

We finally lost Mum late Saturday night. The day before she had been calling for me. My other sisters were already there.
I arrived Saturday lunch and spent the afternoon with her.
She slipped away at 10.55 Saturday night.
I am so heartbroken.

It's making it more painful because Mum dies in a different county to what she lived. She now has to go 25 miles from the funeral home back to the nursing home to get the medical certificate and i was told yesterday that the coroner has to be involved ??

My condolences @stockport1965.. Your mum is at rest now.

Unfortunately, the complications only make it more distressing for you.

I'm sorry for your loss @stockport1965

My dad died suddenly and unexpectedly so the coroner was involved but they decided that given his health problems they wouldn't do a post mortem and allowed his GP to issue the death certificate. Dad had been drinking coffee just hours before he died.

I’m so sorry @stockport1965. My thoughts are with you.

It wasn't a sudden death really.
She had a fall, fractured her hip and was sent home without the hospital noticing.
She then went back for an op.
After that she went downhill, stopped eating and then drinking

I understand ( and may be incorrect) that a post mortum is only carried out if the deceased has not seen a doctor in the previous 24 hours.
My MIL died suddenly in my home, she had to have a PM, my Dad died in hospital after a stroke - he did not have a PM.

So glad @stockport1965 that you got to see Mum. When my Dad had his stroke I was living on the Isle of Man - I did not get there in time, and even after 42 years, it is a great regret.

Look after yourself

The doctor saw her about 5mins before she passed away so am hoping no post mortem will be done. Think it's more protocol that mum died in another county

My condolences to you and your family. I'm glad you were able to see your mother before she passed away.

 

[jugglingmum]

Sorry for your loss. Glad you got to be there. I hope the issues don't take too long to sort, there is not hurry though.

So sorry for your loss.
Your Mum is at peace now...

Condolences for your loss from another Stockport member. Take care of yourself, while you are sorting out all the issues and organising the funeral, the shock will set in when all that is over. My father died while on holiday in France and it took us three weeks to get the body repatriated and the funeral held. We all kept going while we were battling with bureaucracy but then afterwards I had an enormous emotional reaction and ended up losing most of my hair!

So sorry for your loss @stockport1965 - at least you did see your mum before she passed & hopefully in the coming weeks & months that will become a great comfort to you.
In my experience, everyone involved with my mum was very patient with sorting things out & a good funeral directors company really do make a difference. Big hugs to you & your family xx
