<prompt> Human: Mum died New Years Day, what a way to start the year. Left her to sleep in, it being the holidays and all, she slipped into a diabetic hypo, rolled off the bed, got tangled in the bedding and suffocated. I slept through most the day and didnt find her until I got up just past midnight and noticed nothing had moved in the flat at all. At least thats what I presume happened by how I found her. Autopsy from the coroners will verify that.But she paid literally the bills, rent, food, utilities, what have you. Little sisters 16 caring has been thrown into question, Im jobless and have less than three digits in the bank. Ive no qualifications due to not taking school and college seriously when younger now 25 and a lack of motivation has led to me working only a couple brief stints since leaving school. I woke up, ate food, played games and such, went to bed and merely existed any time in between. Hardly a life of any sort. So far the only people to know of it are my dad who had been invited over for New Years, my nan and my little sisters nan and the landlord. I cant inform anyone else as all the numbers are on my mums phone which I couldnt access due to not knowing her pin her brothers birthday but I dont know that date and the police having taken it along with her blood reader and meds, pending investigation.I have some limited access to her bank account through her card but I have no idea the state of her account. I know it to be at least over 15k simply because mum was having some work done in the back half of the house, floors laid and cupboards installed, and the costs of that were racking up. I guess thats a project to be left unfinished now? I dont know. Landlord gave me a phone number to a funeral directors and said to contact them, that they can offer advice but if that costs money at all, well Ive got 30 quid myself and some unknown amount in my mums account and Im screwed beyond that.My dismally small world has been totally shattered and I havent the faintest idea where to even begin to start trying to pick up the pieces. My sister still doesnt even know, being the rebellious independent type, she hasnt stopped by the flat since a day or two before New Years. Ive tried contacting her but havent had a response and probably wont until she comes home looking to get some money from our now absent mum.also everywhere I look is my mums little things that she got herself over the holidays and it fucking hurts to look around and see themAssistant: 1: You are not legally required to go through a funeral process. It is unbelivably costly. Theres nothing wrong with going cost-effective, and your mum would probably have preferred that there be more money for you to take care of your sister rather than spending nearly 2k on something thats going to be buried and forgotten. 2: Likely before you get official access to her accounts things will have to go to court for the will and testament. Its going to take a few months for that to get all sorted out. So in that mean time understand that your friends and extended family can help you with costs so long as you agree to pay them back when funds come in.3: When it comes to a job: welcome to the real world my friend. Yes, it sucks. But youre going to have to find a job. It doesnt suck that bad. Try looking for slacker jobs hotels, fast food, etc to start so you can focus on the important things. Overnight jobs are some of the easiest with a few leaving you with time to game or netflix on the clock.4: Are you in a rural area or urban? As that will effect the jobs available.5: Did your mom rent or own?Human: 1, I have no idea what Im going to do about a funeral or cremation or anything like that. 2, I also dont know if she had a will. I dont think she did. I think she had life insurance, or at least, that was a topic she would bring up regularly but stopped bringing it up months ago so I assume it was either sorted out or left unresolved. And I dont think she had any pensions, I remember she pulled a large lump sum from one or more pensions after her birthday last year and we were just living off that since. As to whether that was some or all, I dont know. 3, Im not going to be terribly picky, I cant be, I only have a couple GCSEs to my name and thats about it. Thick as two short planks according to the papers and my one-page CV. 4, Urban, very urban, east London. 5, Mum rented, landlord is aware, I told them yesterday, they gave me a number for a local funeral director and said to call them for advice on this.  <response>: Get in touch with housing benefit. Theyll help with the rent but it might take a while to start. Also get in contact with citizens advice bureau. They can help you with everything but can be hard to get an appointment with.
