Motorcycle Insurance - Policy Holder Passed Away

Hi, I think we may be in a bit of a mess and am seeking some advice please.
My husband passed away 6 weeks ago, I called car insurance and got it put in my name temporarily. I somehow forgot to inform Motorcycle Insurance and the Named Driver borrowed the bike last week and has hit a car.
I have informed broker who say that the policy will have to be cancelled and to send in the Death Certificate. I have also spoken to the Insurance Company who have said that because the Policy Holder is deceased their specialist team will need to contact me next week.
Will the Named Driver be covered? I didn't get a straight answer from the Insurance company. I'm stressed, feel sick, can't stop crying and not sleeping with the worry on top of everything else.
Can anyone tell me what is likely to happen please? Thanks

    Await the outcome of the specialist team's involvement before getting stressed.

    No point worrying now as you don't know the extent of the problem.

    If the specialist team cause any problems over the claim then come back for advice on dealing with it.
