Sorry for your sad news.
Things won't have to get sorted out too quickly and I am sure that they will be given other information too.
People will want to rally round and help but there often isn't too much that can be done at first, except perhaps a bit of home baking, and/or a card or letter with some lovely memories of your friend.:heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.0 -
so sorry about your loss, its just been supportive for hubby, for the first few days its going to be raw, and take a bit of time to get things sorted.
Did hubbys friend have a family/wife p def agree with the other poster some home baking, a casserole, shepherds pie, lasagne for the freezer,

I'm not particularly religious but I still think he'll be 'around' for his daughter and you all.
Go and give your hubby a big cuddle.:heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.0 -
If he was married or has a civil partner, they can claim a bereavement grant of £2000 to help out with costs.
