Things will improve if you do this.
I lost my dad (my hero) many years ago but he and my mother are still alive in my mind and memories so in time I hope yours are too.
Tough call on your housing but you have sound advice from many sources already and I agree totally that you need to be proactive about this matter.
In my experience, things always work out. That is based on taking control of situations as and when they arise.
All the best to you and yours.
The problem I have is the tenancy agreement was inherited by my dad when my mum died so according to the housing officer it can't be inherited again. I'll be phoning around on Monday trying to get as much help as possible, the mental health team should be able to help to some degree.
Again, thank you to you all you've been a great help.
Go to your GP to get a letter detailing your health problems and get to the council homeless department.
All the best mate.
I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.

This may seem rather cold advice currently, and it will probably be emotionally difficult, but make a start on clearing your dad's things as soon as you can, so that when your new house becomes available you don't have to rush to do it all at the last minute. It's amazing how much there is to go through and it's even worse to have to deal with it under pressure. When we had to clear my mother-in-law's house - which was only a little 2-bed one - it was shocking how much work it was.

Many condolences, and well done for getting through the more practical issues.
Good little support network on this forum - it's helped me more than I ever thought it could. Hope things start looking up for you soon.
