Death in Family. Help and Advise greatly appreciated.

McGinniesta · 2022-01-03 14:30:59

This is a slightly complicated story so I'll try to keep this as simple as possible. I'd be very grateful for any help. My cousin died on New Years day. (my father and his father are brothers). <Mod Snip: Potentially identifying information> The issue isn't with his death, as such, but with his immediate family…

Op,
Honesty maybe the best policy.
You go with your dad next time. If you are not invited in ask why, ask how the wife is, etc. can you see her, does she know about the death
and I don’t mean in a confrontational way - but in a caring way (which is obvious you have for them) - I couldn’t do it myself as I know I use the wrong time ans it would blow up but many people can
you can talk to the GP too. He obviously won’t tell you private details but will listen to your concern and I’m sure would at least hint whether he is aware of the situation
the parish priest might already have visited them and would be willingly to tell that they are okay or not
Calling the Gardai should be a last resort unless there is local Garda who knows the couple
