I think our Sheila hit it on the nail when she posted to me…" it is only after when we have done everything and there is nothing now to do that we finally grieve."
Yes first there is the looking after, or the getting through the sudden death, next there is the registering of death, next the funeral-cremation arrangement - the notifying of companies- utilities, Insurance, family, the contact and dealings with solicitor, the changing over names for billing purposes…and between this the getting of our new entitlements, out award benefits…the lengthy non stop phone calls, the phone bills that are now extortionately high yet have to be paid otherwise we are threatened with being cut off…Oh the list goes on…then only after all is done and dusted does our grieving process start which could be in a year or twos time…
