Hi Lynnid,
I’m so sorry that you lost your Mum in March. Losing a loved one is so difficult especially when it is so quick and unexpected, it must have been a great shock for you. It was a blessing for your Mum that you were with her & holding her hand at the end.
It must be worrying for you to be left with the cost of the funeral. Could you speak to the funeral company about an affordable payment plan? Perhaps you could go & speak to the Citizens Advice Bureau, I know that they can often help in these situations.
Please keep talking to us & take care of yourself. Trudy
