I should bloody hope not! Maybe you should talk to them about it though.

I lost my dad over 3 years ago now and lost my mum nearly a year ago. It's soo hard at first, but it does get easier, i promise you.

I dont know, im afraid. Maybe look for info on your rights on the direct.gov website.

I know, it's probably the shock of it too. What happened, if you dont mind me asking? Its ok if you dont wanna say.
