Hello everyone, just signing back in for the first time to say hello to you all. Your messages have really touched me, they're so good to read. I last posted on the 12th - she died late afternoon the next day, and since then it's a constant stream of WhatsApp, email, text and phone - today, for instance, we hope to use a small southern England WhatsApp group to test whether you can get a 3 way conversation going automatically off the cuff, which would be really useful.
There has to be an inquest, because it was a work accident, and I've found the online listing, but she's not on it yet, so there's also no news of the funeral. If it was soon, none of us would be able to go anyway, because my sister and niece are on holiday, and I've got my niece's cat to look after, but it sounds like it will be a while.
So here's me, faffing around 250 miles away ... all the normal things, just more preoccupied and shorter lasting ... driving lessons, starting to sort out what car I might buy, finishing off the new curtains from my material stash, starting to design/ make recycleable Christmas labels for my local family, writing little biographies for the genealogy work and deleting duplicate documents, tidying up so that the cat doesn't get his paws into stuff that will cascade all over the floor, the odd bit of weeding, walks with the local group. I'll stay here for a quick looksee

Oh KC, that's so, so sad to hear. Did they have a little one? (Sorry, I struggle to keep up with your rellies). How awful, regardless.
You are doing remarkably well to keep on keeping on with other things. Glad you have the cat to keep you company (and to get into mischief)!Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days

Sorry you are going through this. Inquests and funerals can take a while so you should be able to arrange attending and they often have some kind of remote access these days
