I wondered why the paramedics were there. She was dead - thought it would have been police and GP! My eyes were slightly moist at Jack's reaction when he discovered her - however keeping her warm with his coat???????????

slightly moist! I was awash - the bit about him keeping her warm is a natural reaction - I remember when I left Lawrence at the hospital I touched his forehead and it was so cold and it didn't seem right - if we'd been at home I too would have covered him up to keep him warm - daft I know, but I think it's instinctive

sends ann a (((hug))) xxx

sorry Ann - not been in that position TG - perhaps we all would do that. Apologies.

Big ((hug)) Ann x x

good God Chris, no need to apologise - not necessary. Of course you would not know if you've never been in that position, how could you. I didn't know till it happened to me.

It was sad, I don't usually do soaps but had to watch the two episodes and see for myself. I thought Jack did everything beautifully, it was obvious he loved her really despite all their argy bargying! And Tyrone too, he was like their son!
I would imagine they didn't go through every procedure on the programme, we were meant to assume the doctor had been and issued the necessary certification before the undertaker came for her body, I suppose. Or maybe if paramedics and policeman say she is dead that is sufficient?
I wasn't with my Mum at the end, my brothers were,as they had been called by the neighbour and arrived as the ambulance men resuscitated her once, and then lost her again. She had to have her clothing cut off her. She had been lying on the floor for up to half an hour before she was found and then no-one could get in as she had the key in the lock ready to open the door to the man from the Day centre and go for lunch. (He was the one who saw her through the window when he couldn't get a reply) A neighbour had to break in through a window and open the door, so amazing they got her back at all after that long. I didn't have a mobile phone then so couldn't be contacted till I went home and played my ansaphone, where I was told she had had a fall and to ring neighbour.

R.I.P. Vera.

I hope Liz Dawn has a while yet to spend with her family.


Hugs for you Taff and Ann of GG.

I was beaking my heart...

My Mum died the same way

Gaynor

I can confirm as i have been through this that if someone dies suddenly at home the doctor and police come round and speak to the person who found the deceased, they are taken for a post mortem and depending how busy they are you get the results a few days later, you can then register the death. My eldest had to be interviewed by the police when my mum died as mum was looking after my children for me to have an operation and my poor girl who was only 12 found her.

Hugs for Taff, Ann and Gaynor

Jax xx

thanks for all the hugs!!! I feel a bit squashed now but lovely. I think scenes like those we witnessed on Corrie last night serve a very useful purpose in giving people some insight into what could happen and how things pan out - not a bad thing really cos till you've actually been through it as a number of us have unfortunately, you have no idea what goes on - so hats off to the producers of Corrie for showing it like they did - extremely sensitive and such wonderful acting from all concerned - would that Eastenders take a leaf out of Corries book - shall not be watching that again after last night's uncomfortable and frightening episode

well that's another killed - stone dead!!

No you haven't Ann, I am here lol
Sending you an extra hug to make up for EE, and a hug to Gaynor too, and Jax and her daughter.

Aw so sad just like northern folk, straight talking but soft inside

It was sad.
My Mum was also found dead in bed of a heart attack.
I didn't see her though, as she always said knowbody had to see her when she died as she was made to view her mother who had died of cancer....Mum was only 5 and she could still picture her Mum :((
