ABSTRACT

The loss of one’s partner is one of the worst things in life; to lose your partner without knowing for sure what happened to them, not to have their body, not to be able to organise a funeral, is unbearable. There is no sense of closure … At this time I have no idea when my partner’s estate will be settled. I wish to see things resolved primarily for my partner’s sake, but also to allow me to at least attempt to get on with my life without this constant worry about his affairs.
