My mam and dad told me a couple of weeks ago they've signed up for this scheme where when the death is confirmed the bodies are taken and cremated in private and the ashes returned to next of kin inside 24 hours, so no funeral. Felt weird to start with but I can totally see the point of it now. My dad has done me and my brother a playlist we have to listen to while we're eating the meal which is in lieu of a funeral. We'll be skipping a canny bit of it like, I reckon my mam is more chilled out and doesn't care what we do. Sorry for your losses bluf; a lot of people feel the same way when they have to watch a parent decline and there's nothing weird about feeling a bit of relief with the sadness. My grandmother died this week and she's getting something similar. It wasn't within 24 hours, but the ashes are returned without ceremony and there'll be no big formal funeral, just a small gathering when the ashes are scattered. Definitely a sense of relief with her too - though maybe a bit different to others. As her health declined she was suffering more and that was also sharpening her own...harsh... personality traits come out more. It seemed like by a certain point her living on wasn't bringing either her or those around her any joy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to put down my wee dug, 14, had a twisted belly, inoperable at least within our budget which was pretty miserable. Only topped off by mum dying the following Saturday. Why are funerals so damn fucking expensive. Legit bare min' and it's 3K to burn it to ashes anyway. Ah man, I’m really sorry to hear this Bluf. My condolences for your losses.

Inferior Acuña Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Thanks lads. For me it’s really more about being there for my mam than going through a lot directly myself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Outside a meeting with my estate lawyer. Made me come to queens so it must be important. No idea if I'm gonna leave here furious or relieved. Hate the uncertainty. Been on edge all day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Family inheritance that's turned into an entire thing. Had to get a lawyer because my family are cunts. So now everyone speaks through our attourneys. Usually we just catch up on the phone but he was like "Come to the office" so I'm out here in the waiting room shaking like a leaf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Elated. Turns out my partner is 5 weeks pregnant - don’t quite know what to do with the information, who to tell or how excited to get or practically what to do. We have a child from her marriage so being a dad is not boxfresh but babies and pregnancy are. Surreal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed210 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Fed up. Had lots of stressful things going on lately which have me and the wife basically at the end of our tethers. This has now been topped off with getting burgled early hours of Friday morning by 3 scumbags. Upset and raging at the same time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
