Hi folks...I am wanting some advice.
My sister's husband died yesterday, of a heart attack. He was 44. On
and off smack over many years, on methadone for the last 6 years.
Busted recently, but then just got back to counselling and methadone.
He had some kind of bipolar condition. A relatively harmless sort of
a guy. My sister, schizophrenia, but pretty sane since having two
kids, who are 6 and 8.
So now I face supporting her with the whole funeral process, which
will probably take place in a few weeks. I have never been to a
funeral, so its all new to me. I am interested in approaching the
whole thing with intelligence, reflectivity, and awareness of the
wider field. But no idea really what is going to work better. Apart
from simple care, and support, which is of course a lot, I am
interested in what details to attend to on a systemic level.
Any thoughts, input, experience welcome.
