people say
‘We as a family had no idea of how to even start going about preparing for a inquest and if the truth be known it scared the life out of us, but once we’d spoken to you guys and realised there were people out there who were going to help us and more importantly someone we could trust, we knew we were in good hands and as a family we all seamed to get a “second wind” if you like to get through this.’
