Thank you for sharing your story Andrew, it was very moving. I feel really guilty about not being with my husband right at the end - he passed 2 hours after I’d left him.

I’m grinding my way through the banks, but it looks like with Sharon’s savings probate is required, so leaving my solicitor with that. Yes, it’s a pain to do all this, but I guess it’s a distraction and stops my brain thinking…
