Thanks guys, it has been a difficult 3 months. Dad was taken into hospital in January with a viral infection on his brain. Within a week he was in intensive care on life support, where he remained for 2 weeks before we had to make the decision to turn off the machines keeping him alive.
Because life support was removed, it was then referred to the Coroner's office, so it was 3 weeks before we got a death certificate to enable us to arrange the funeral.
So the funeral was 7 weeks after he passed away, which is a long time to wait, especially for Mum.
He passed away 1 month before his 80th Birthday.
