This is a difficult subject.
My Mother was murdered days before our 30th birthday.
At the time we were so overwhelmed dealing with the police, sorting her house and probate alongside the subsequent trial.
When it came to the matters of how she was murdered we were told she wouldn’t have known anything about it.
I’ve always felt that was untrue.
I saw a programme this week stating that next of kin are able to have a copy of the post mortem and following that I impulsively requested one.
I’ve received it and i’m absolutely devastated. There was so much in it that we didn’t know. Plus time of death was a lot later than we were told and the time from initial injury to death was not instant as we were told.
My Husband is not happy I have requested the information (he is worried it’s going to set me back) but from my point of view this is part of my life and my child’s life (born years after and will never know her)
Not sure if I should have requested the details or not. I felt like I should as if anyone else’s family member passed, it wouldn’t even be considered not to see the post mortem report.
Would it?
