Morning all from Mehefinland
Can't sleep - now there's a surprise. Keep thinking I should have seen something. Why didn't I get her to the doc's sooner and so on . Round and round in my head. Then the rational side tells me to grow up and get on with things.
DS and Toxic are coming tomorrow with their 2 dogs so that should help. I must be fair, even though I am not fond of he woman, she has been a great source of comfort for him. I may have to revise my opinion!! :)
Just done an online Wait*** order to arrive tomorrow. Can't face physical shopping at the moment.

Spoke with the bereavement team at the hospital yesterday. After the initial authentication that it was me , the next question was, 'burial or cremation?' Me: 'don't know'. 'Funeral director' me: don't know. 'can't take this any further until we have this information. What!!!
To be fair he did explain the procedure in some detail and about the way it now works. Very different from when my parents passed away.
So, some searching and difficult conversations coming up with DS.
Mrs M had always said she wanted to be buried next to her Mum, until relatively recently when she was leaning more towards cremation after seeing the proliferation of TV adverts. However she never finally decided. I implore any reader who has not had that difficult conversation with their loved ones to do so.
