    Hugs to you and yours. Your DH will need to work with SIL to understand who is doing what wrt the funeral and any will, but realistically if they use a funeral director then he/she should be able to take a large part of the load off them. I'm evangelical about the support I had from one when organising a family funeral.

    Thanks, guys. katsu amazingly loads of the funeral arrangements are already in hand, even down to who is saying and singing what!
    Been on the 'phone to DH half the night and can't sleep now, but not in a bad way, though I guess it will feel bad at 6.30...

    Thankyou. Had 2 hours' sleep and just managed the day. DH is on the road now. I am so furious that his sister has had time with him that is mine. Think I have a personality disorder.

    Best wishes to you and yours. I'm glad your OH is coming back but you know that he couldn't have done anything other than what he did.

    I'm sure he'll be very happy to be back with his family :)

    You're right of course, I wouldn't have wanted him not to go. He would regret it forever.
