Well the post mortem was done yesterday. Previous to that she texted one of his sons, who came to collect his Dad's car yesterday, so my sister got to sit and talk to him which i think helped her alot.

He died from an blood clot to the heart, so i guess the clot just stopped his heart beating, it's brought my sister some comfort knowing that he won't have known anything and wasn't in pain, and there was nothing that she could have done. He just went to sleep and didn't wake up. His son told my sister that she'd made his Dad very happy. The funeral is Tuesday and he said it was ok for her to go. He also gave her some CD's out of his Dad's car, that they listened too constantly, so that's helping her. The shock seems to be easing now, she's just very very down, she's knackered but can't sleep, she looks so tired and bleary. I guess she's accepted it but i dunno she is very depressed, which i guess is normal. I'm going to see her tonight, i've been talking to her on the phone 5,6, times a day. At least she has some answers now.

It's lovely that his son was so nice to your sister, that must have been a huge help to her. I'm glad he didn't suffer, as tragic as this is

Also very glad indeed that she has been welcomed to the funeral - she needs the chance to say goodbye.

I am glad she has had some news back, at that his son has been so kind to her. I really hope Tuesday goes okay for her Karen. Poor girl, I can't even begin to imagine what she is going through.

It's such a tragedy, but thank goodness he didn't suffer and went peacefully. It's nice that his son has been so kind to her and she is able to go to the funeral. Hopefully that will be able to give her some closure and eventually find a way to move on.

She is still in my thoughts and prayers. It's such an awful thing to go through.

Thanks ladies

His best friend phoned her last night, she hasn't met him but has spoke on the phone to him when her bf was talking to him, how sweet is this, he thanked my sister for making James's last few months so happy, he told her that before James met her he was very sad (he'd come out of a marriage too) and that James was so happy after he met her, those words meant so much to her, she still isn't sleeping but the shock has wore off, she's very down, but i think that that phonecall last night was just what she needed to hear

I'm glad your sister has some answers and what his best friend said to her must have been a huge comfort. At least he didn't die in pain although its still a massive thing for her to get her head around

Still thinking of you all
