Guest oneoftwo Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Our kids are dual citizens, I finally have started the process for our youngest child- he heads away to uni soon and I know his Dad wants him to have his second passport. So I've done some of the paperwork But... it means I have to dig through and find my husbands birth certificate, our wedding certificate, and his death certificate. And pack them up and mail them away. I'm really balking at this- it makes me sick to my stomach to think of looking at that again (and I have to - to make sure I send the right documents) it seems insurmountable that I have to look at these documents again. So, it's been a long time coming, and maybe this afternoon I can handle it. It's just never ending really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trying Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 After 4 years I recently had to get the death certificate out again, it sucks every time. Back to school time here and filling out the damn forms, "father's name" still sucks every time too. It's important to me that the school knows he's not a dead beat dad, he's just dead.

Guest oneoftwo Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Yep- those forms suck. But I did always put his name down- after all he is their Dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forgottenwife Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Huge hugs. I always dread the times that I have to get the death certificate out. Sending it to strangers sucks. Sorry you have to deal with it in this circumstance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobFTC Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 oneoftwo, you have the harder case, doing it on behalf of him. I know it's hard to deal with Those Documents. I am the non-native, so I filed for their Canadian passports with just my documents. Does it help if you reflect that this is a final thing he can do for his son, but that he needs your help? Take care, Rob T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soloact Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 After almost ten years I still hate that death certificate. I've seen my share of them but my husband's name was never supposed to be on one. Sorry you have this again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oneoftwo Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Thanks guys, I still haven't dealt with this, my latest excuse is that it's already too late for it to get there on a work day, so I may as well wait till Monday. I think I can muster strength/mental fortitude between now and then to get the stuff in an envelope. But I did make some calls about some details that needed doing. I get nauseous even thinking about that piece of paper- the coroner was kind and omitted a lot, but there is enough there that I've read once, and caused complete break down - I know I'm wasting more energy thinking about it than I will in getting it done, but that seems to be my MO these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
