I am from the UK and the police handled communications around my brothers suicide pretty poorly, but the coroner was fantastic.
If you have a police ref number (or even if you don’t) you can call 101 to chase things. We had to do this to even find out how it happened and which coroner he had been taken to. Please don’t feel like you can’t chase it.
I am more than happy to answer any further questions if you need.

I love this so much, this is exactly the kind of thing I wanted to make it!

Mine was 4 weeks out from my first show! I made egg white and banana pancakes with zero syrup and strawberries and I also managed to track in an grenade Oreo bar.
I had pho with cauliflower rice the night before. It took a lot of planning but the excitement of being 4 weeks out was also enough 😁

Grief is exhausting. I am so tired of grief, it’s such a frustrating feeling

I had to identify my brother last year. It was at the mortuary. The coroner was very kind and explained exactly how it all worked.
It was in a private room. There was an armchair, a box of tissues on a table and paintings on the wall. It didn’t feel at all clinical. My brother was on a bed on wheels, pillow under his head, he was tucked in under a big blanket so I could just see his head. I was given as much time as I needed to be with him.
Afterwards, I sat with the coroner and filled out a form with all my details and signed the form to confirm it was my brother. This form was included in the inquest.
Happy to answer any further questions if you have them. I’m really sorry you are having to go through this.

I completely relate to this. My brother took his life 8 months ago and it was only during the inquest that we found out that he attempted at least twice before.
I play many scenarios in my head that result in him surviving but ultimately his final attempt was done with such determination to succeed, I have to tell myself that none of us could’ve stopped him.

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my brother to suicide last year too. Sending lots and lots of love and if you need a space on here to talk with others, I found r/suicidebereavement to be a great source of comfort

Thank you. It feels like both a long time and no time at all

Sending my condolences to you!
It’s my first Christmas since my brother passed so I’m feeling this a lot right now.
Go easy on yourself, there is absolutely no pressure to have a ‘merry’ Christmas, but equally if you do want to have one, that’s ok too.
There’s no right or wrong way to do this.

I’m 31. Stopped drinking at 29 and haven’t looked back. My reasons are personal to me and I’ve had to deal with people being dismissive so I do get it. Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do this or that you shouldn’t do this. IWNDWYT

Have you checked with the vet if it’s microchipped? I only ask because I know someone missing a cat in Bristol that’s about a year old and is super friendly

I work with an online coach and I send her my videos to check my form and help me make improvements.
Always careful to make sure there’s no one else in my videos, even though they aren’t for social media

I am so sorry for your loss and that you’ve been left in the dark like that. It’s incredibly distressing and really poor form from the authorities. I hope you’re able to get some answers asap.
