Rather a dark topic so apologies.
My elderly aunt in the nursing home was taken to hospital ( again) yesterday with a chest infection, discharged after several hours on oxygen and given strong antibiotics and other meds. My brother had a chat with the doc and she is on very borrowed time now. Unfortunately I've been confined to barracks all week with lurgy ( my immune system collapsed several years ago leaving me susceptible to nasties) and unfit to drive. Constant coughing, retching all night, and general lousiness & exhaustion.
My bro goes on holiday next week until Feb so I could be in charge of arrangements. Any advice please to make things easier when the time comes? It will be a cremation, with probably less than ten people present. I think her will is in her flat, which has been empty since early '16, so hopefully I can find her instructions in there when fit enough to vacate my prison.
