My mum died recently. She had cancer. She died at home.
She died at about 5.30pm. By 8pm, her body was out of the house. Taken away by the undertaker/funeral director.
I know this is what happens.
But I feel really sad and I delayed calling the undertaker because I didn't want her taken away, leaving the house she's lived in for 45 years.
Also when the undertaker came, she asked me and my siblings to go to the sitting room with the door closed. There was an awful lot of banging and movement upstairs as they did whatever they had to do to get her out of the house. She asked us to shut the sitting room door so we wouldn't see anything I guess.
I just feel like my mum left the house too soon. I called the undertaker too soon. I can't fault the undertaker. She was so courteous and kind.
I think it's because I don't really understand why she was taken away so soon. Why there was so much racket. Why we were advised to close the door.
