I wish I could add that I have the magic answer but I dont. I can only echo what other people have said. Look. After. Yourself. Take the advice of the funeral directors. They are there to advise you. You will get through this.
Thanks guys, the funeral was 6 weeks ago, I came to an arrangement with the directors, I paid a lump sum up front and the remainder over 12 months
I just wish I could remember the service, it was all such a blur
Thank you everyone for your kind wishes
My condolences too and best wishes tomorrow. Take good care of yourself.
I don't know what kind of funeral service you had for your mum but the person who took the service and anyone who took part may be able to let you know the words they used so you might read throught them again. It's not the same as being able to remember first hand, I know, as you've been going through so very much, but it might help.
Among some families and friends as part of their grieving process, there is a get together some time after the funeral for a memorial service of their choice: and it doesn't have to be like the funeral service and need not be formal. It needn't be in a place of worship. Some choose to do this on the first anniversary.
And others find the service for burying the ashes, if the choice was for cremation, another time they can support one another.
As for your inheritance: your mum's will, if she made one, is sacrosanct, and if not, you are the heir of her estate under the intestacy rules, so keep strong on that one.
I'm very sorry for your loss .. it will take a while for you to come to terms with it , particularly with everything else you have going on. Its still very recent so go easy on yourself - if your feeling sad its ok to cry if you feel you need to, its better out than in ! Grief is a funny thing that can hide for ages and then jump out and catch you when you least expect it..
Allow yourself time to come to terms with everything thats going on, and all the best for tomorrow..
I said that all I ever wanted for Christmas was to be told i'm in remission, and today I got good news, my scan was completely clear, so as of today I'm in remission
I know my mum played a part in this as she always said i'd get better and mothers are never wrong

That's wonderful news, your mum obviously knew what she was talking about.:)
