    So sorry Lynne, I know what a special boy he was to you.

    You must have had an awful time over Christmas missing him, but you'll have lots of happy memories to treasure.

     

    Sleep tight Todd.

  14. A Bit Of A Morbid & Delicate Question.....

    in Non Animal Chat

    Posted · Edited by rmb3971

    Just to relate our experience...

     

    We found Ma in law dead at home one morning almost 2 years ago. She had quite obviously been dead since the evening before. We had only left her just after tea. She was very elderly and had been ill, but it was still a shock.

    I rang the doctor first to ask what to do, but they said I had to ring 999 for the police.

     

    The police took all the details, I explained why we thought she had been dead since the night before etc, but they said they would have to send an ambulance, sssooooo... with sirens and lights blazing, up through the town into a narrow street of terraced houses along came a fast response ambulance car, a regular ambulance and a police car!

    They all rushed in with all the gear, even though I met them and quickly explained why I thought it was far far too late and if there had been any signs of life we would have certainly have taken all apppropriate action.

     

    One ambulance man finally came out of the room to announce that he was very sorry but our Mother was .....deceased! He was possibly the rookie and I felt very sorry for him.

    Had it not been sooo sad it could have been like one of those weird comedy sketches.

     

    The 'fast responder' had the authority to pronounce that she was actually gone, and the doctor didn't see her until she was at the undertakers. The fast responder lady was very kind and sympathetic and was able to stay as long as we wanted, and to help us with the initial things we needed to do.

     

    I suppose different areas might have different procedures.

     

    Comforting thought to all in this situation. :GroupHug: :GroupHug:

     

    edited cos the :GroupHug: came out in the wrong place :rolleyes:
