What happens to people after they die in hospital

I don't know what's made me wonder this morning. A few years ago my DM died in hospital. We said our goodbyes and left her in the room, looking like she was sleeping. The hospital was fairly busy during this time, think it was visiting hours.

What will have happened after we left? Will they have treated her as if she were still alive, talked to her? Do they really cover up their faces? And how are they taken to the morgue?

Just want to know. Really missing DM. Sad

Hi everyone,

Thank you to everyone who has reported this thread to us - it's truly moving. We're going to move it to Classics now, so it doesn't disappear.

If anyone had posted here banking on the fact that their posts would disappear after 90 days, and would rather not have them in Classics, then please do drop us a line.

Why in the world would this be in classics? Confused
We moved this thread to Classics several years ago in response to many requests and posts like this one:

'Beautiful, beautiful thread.

My sympathies to everyone who has lost someone dear.

I would like to nominate this thread for classics as it is so wonderfully reassuring and I feel it brings into focus a side of the NHS that is little known or understood.

Mumsnet Classics isn't just for funny threads, by the way - it's for any special threads which Mumsnetters feel are important and want to keep hold of.
