Finding out my brother died via email

Hi,

I lost my brother in December 10 years ago but didn’t know until 5 weeks later in January 2015. Not only has he died, but they cremated him 5 days before I learnt via email.

I still feels rather like 10 months ago, not 10 years. On top of this, I was targeted and bullied at work during bereavement (Pret A Manger) as in a large corporation, bereaved employees are an inconvenience. I worked there 7 years when my brother died and had no-where to go while traumatised. I held out for another 3 years.

I was offered “hush money” by Pret if I sign a NDA, but I declined and speak out since 2018 and work with the press.

I recently shared some of it on a podcast:
