Fish (Robin)

[Region3]

Thank you everyone, its been a very rough few days with a few more to come, especially when its a total unexpected loss, its really knocked us both about and my wife Lisa is really struggling to come to terms with it as she was only with her mum earlier that day and then had to give permission to switch the support machine off a few hours later!

Life is so cruel at times.

That's awful, my thoughts are with you both Robin.

 

[Liverbirdie]

Sad news lar, thoughts with you both.

 

[Bigfoot]

It is tough when it is unexpected. My condolences, Robin.

Not looking forward to tomorrow, due to it being a sudden death we have to attend an inquest in the morning, if things aren't tough enough for my wife we now have to go to the Magistrates Court and confirm her mums details and answer any questions put to her, been told its common practice with sudden deaths but its not helping her and she's extremely anxious, has anyone any experience of these inquests?

 

[Deleted member 15344]

The main thing to remember is they are just looking for facts and causes - i went to one for a work colleague who collapsed and died on the spot - they tried to make the atmosphere as relaxed as possible to ensure its not too much of an ordeal and will just ask factual questions. Let the magistrate know your wife's anixty about it and they will ensure its dealt with delicately

Best wishes mate

All sudden or unexpected deaths are subject to an inquest. Should just be a formality. Very sorry to hear about your family bereavement Robin.

Speak to the Clerk for the Court when you arrive, and make him/her aware of the anxiety. They will be exceptionally understanding. Also, the procedure is a lot less formal than your typical magistrate's hearing, so don't be afraid to ask a question if you need something clarifying. Same at the end of the hearing - find the Clerk and ask whatever.

Don't worry/fret, it'll be a whole lot less stressful than you think. And, as ever, give me a call if you need owt.

Went through it with my Father-in-law and as others have said the staff at the magistrates were brilliant, totally understanding and proffessional. Take care mate

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Hope it goes as smoothly as it can and I'm sure if you express your concerns when you arrive they will ensure the procedural side of thing is dealt with as sympathetically as it can
