Natalie Morris’s article (Grief can take us to the darkest of places – why don’t we take it seriously?, 2 August) floored me. It brought back so many memories of my own dad’s death and trying to grieve and deal with work at the same time (once I returned after acute stress and panic attacks). One thing she didn’t mention is that, at a point when you are at your most vulnerable, you also have to deal with the “sadmin” to do with the death.
I also put myself through the stress of complaining to the care home and any organisation that needed to know about the appalling way in which my dad’s death was handled. It wasn’t investigated. Far too often you are dealing with people who clearly haven’t a clue about what you are going through.
