Thread Name: BS: Death in the family - what to do?
Subject: BS: Death in the family - what to do?
A few minutes ago, I received word that my sister's husband has died. My sister has asked me to come to her home, 600 miles away. She's basically alone there.
I've never been in this situation before. He died in a hospital, so I'm sure the hospital will inform the county of his death. I will help remove his clothes, et cetera, from the apartment if she's ready to do that.
Is there anything else I will probably have to do? They are not wealthy, but there may be insurance, et cetera. I would appreciate insights from anyone who's been through this. ----------------------- Do you smoke cigarettes? Please stop. He was only a kid, age 53. He'd still be with us if it weren't for cigarettes.
