And it was sadly what happened.
But you expect someone to reach out to you, someone to make you feel that you matter, but also your son's death mattered and that he mattered.
And those feelings of abandonment and isolation and those feelings that no one cared contribute so much to your mental health when you go through this journey as much as your grief because he deserved better than that.
And our family did.
You know, we had two toddlers at home.
Nobody even asked or spoke to us about them, their welfare.
Were they at risk?
But also, more importantly, how do you talk about death to a two- and three-year-old when they'd witnessed part of what happened to George as well?
I think you expect things to be in place until you face it.
And there was nothing available for our family.
And what...
We needed someone who had an idea of the process.
Everyone grieves differently, so there is no rule book.
But what they can do is sit with you and they can say guilt, blame.
All of these emotions are...
normal, in a very abnormal situation when you lose a child.
But also things like, well, you do have to now get a death certificate.
He will have to have a post-mortem.
You know, all of these questions that we had, they were very unlikely going to be able to tell us how he died.
We sort of understood that at the time, at that point.
