Condolences, beebop, so sorry for your loss.
That’s tough, XB. There are problems in that department with my mother from time to time - the worst I’ve had to deal with personally has been washing out sofa cushions but I’ve been lucky with my timing being there.

Sorry to read this Beebop. The admin can take a while to sort out.

Sorry for your loss Beebop
I got 4 death certificates for my dad. Went to his bank and they took copies. Dad had 4 different private small pension. That why I got 4.

We got 5 but didn't need that many. Most people took copies. Might be different in Covid times

Sorry for your loss, Beebop.
Rather annoyingly, mum is still asleep. There's not been a peep* out of her since 2230. I've been sitting here, mostly awake, waiting to be called into action.
*I have checked regularly to see if she's still breathing.

So sorry for your loss Beebop.
I’ve been staying with my mum for the last two weeks since she had a fall (thankfully no broken bones this time) and it’s a real shock to see how much worse she is since early December when I last visited.
She also had a minor toilet accident just before bed a couple of nights ago which then triggered a few moments of sadness and a “I don’t want to be like this” comment. Although the moment soon passed it then led to a sleepless night for me thinking about possible solutions. Thankfully mum has bounced back a bit since so things have improved.
Life is a bitch and old age doubly so...

It's difficult to watch the decline Dave.

Hard to think about, never mind to deal with. 
All this makes me doubly glad for my sister. She lives with and looks after my Mum all the time..... Despite Carers coming in, she does get all the "night calls".

It’s good that she’s got you, Dave. I’m taking comfort from the fact that, by good fortune, all three of us can do our share of the caring with the help of the professionals.
My sisters both work but are working from home and can be super flexible with clocking their hours.
I’m back on duty this evening; I’m booked into a Premier Inn for a couple of nights to cut out the 150 mile round trip. It also means I get to run somewhere different and flat😀
