Following the death of a relative recently I contacted the Joint Equipment Store in Motherwell to arrange the uplift of a bed. The family's wish was to have the bed removed prior to the body being returned to their home in advance of the funeral.
They did not want the bed in the middle of the living room when friends and extended family members were visiting to pay their respects. Nor did the family want a constant reminder of the difficult time they, and their loved one, had experienced in the lead up to the death. The grieving process is difficult enough.I was told, apologetically, there was a 4 week waiting time!
The death of a relative is an extremely distressing time for any family. Why make it more difficult?
