Mum died New Year's Day, what a way to start the year. Left her to sleep in, it being the holidays and all, she slipped into a diabetic hypo, rolled off the bed, got tangled in the bedding and suffocated. I slept through most the day and didn't find her until I got up just past midnight and noticed nothing had moved in the flat at all. At least that's what I presume happened by how I found her. Autopsy from the coroner's will verify that.
But she paid literally the bills, rent, food, utilities, what have you. "Little" sister's (16) caring has been thrown into question, I'm jobless and have less than three digits in the bank. I've no qualifications due to not taking school and college seriously when younger (now 25) and a lack of motivation has led to me working only a couple brief stints since leaving school. I woke up, ate food, played games and such, went to bed and merely existed any time in between. Hardly a life of any sort. So far the only people to know of it are my dad (who had been invited over for New Year's), my nan and my little sister's nan and the landlord. I can't inform anyone else as all the numbers are on my mum's phone which I couldn't access due to not knowing her pin (her brother's birthday but I don't know that date) and the police having taken it along with her blood reader and meds, pending investigation.
I have some limited access to her bank account through her card but I have no idea the state of her account. I know it to be at least over 15k simply because mum was having some work done in the back half of the house, floors laid and cupboards installed, and the costs of that were racking up. I guess that's a project to be left unfinished now? I don't know. Landlord gave me a phone number to a funeral directors and said to contact them, that they can offer advice but if that costs money at all, well I've got 30 quid myself and some unknown amount in my mum's account and I'm screwed beyond that.
My dismally small world has been totally shattered and I haven't the faintest idea where to even begin to start trying to pick up the pieces. My sister still doesn't even know, being the rebellious independent type, she hasn't stopped by the flat since a day or two before New Year's. I've tried contacting her but haven't had a response and probably won't until she comes home looking to get some money from our now absent mum.
also everywhere I look is my mum's little things that she got herself over the holidays and it fucking hurts to look around and see them
