A year ago my dad passed away

I was very interested to hear you noticed the window was open, next to him. I don't think it is hospital policy, but many nurses are aware of the old tradition that you open a window when someone dies, so their soul can leave. Even now, there are nurses who do that, if a window can be opened. In the UK and USA. There are hospice nurses on yt, who explain the dying process and likely experiences, and a number of nurses comment that they open windows, when patients die .

I think they don't make you see dead family in the morgue. Unless you take days to get there. It would be psychologically much more confronting. In the hospital, in a ward, or in the emergency ward, it feels like it has just happened. In a morgue, it would feel like the hospital had 'binned' them, if you know what I mean. In a bed, it is though they are still with you. As though they are still there to say goodbye to, in a morgue, it is much more confronting, I think.

I felt disbelief. Just walked about completely numb. I knew she was dead, but it didn't seem real. The doctors/police were ciearly not sure what to do with me.

It seems very wrong to like a video so titled. I saw this title and thought your dad had died a year ago - but the video is 4 years old. I thought it had happened the same year as your cancer op. I thought, What a year!!!
