I've just heard that my father has died. I have no idea of the when or where other than that it's somewhere in London and fairly recent (last month or two). As far as I know I'm his only child and therefore I'm guessing next of kin... how do I find out where he is/funeral etc? I don't know his date of birth, only his name and my mum doesn't remember. I do have my birth cert which has him on it. I don't want to question my mum too much because it's quite a difficult issue for her.
I'd had no contact with him since I was 8 years old but it was always at the back of my mind that someday I'd track him down, of course that option is gone now. I'd like at least to see where he lived, to get a sense of the essence of who he was and I feel sort of teary but not quite and it's all very odd.
Any ideas where I could start looking to find him please? and can someone tell me how I'm supposed to feel cos I really don't know, I keep tearing up but then it goes away again and I just feel sort of adrift somehow.
