A beautifully written true story about a most horrible event.  It is such a shame that anyone has to go through an ordeal such as losing a partner or a parent especially while still so young.  Darren, you have done a wonderful job with this story, your love for Maite and your children and her love for life and everyone in it are so plain to read. It was just beautiful and brought many tears to my eyes (and indeed coursing down my cheeks).You hope to raise awareness of the practical side of losing a loved one and I can only commend you for what you have done.  My sister-in-law lost her husband in her 20's and so my husband has always been very conscious of keeping me informed of changes to his will and any financial commitments we have just in case.  Things we would not have thought of if it wasn't for the unfortunate experience.  I think you have done an amazing and very brave thing in writing this story and I think you will help many people handle with this situation be it only that they are aware that they can receive reduced council tax.I wish you and your children all the best for the future.
