New update on my reclusive neighbours.....

Today they set their kitchen on fire.
First I knew of it was a knock on my door from other neighbours who had already rung 999. Smoke billowing out of their front door next to mine.
There have been three fire engines, two ambulances and two police cars here all afternoon.....the man next door has gone to hospital and the paramedics spent ages I think trying to persuade the woman not to stay in the house tonight...she sat on the fire engine step for about two hours... ....but eventually she went back in.

Firemen had to check my loft for smoke. My house is smoky.
I have been staying out of it..these people are too weird for me to deal with. Not happy with this situation though.
I just went out to get an update from a fireman, and apparently various people will now be involved in the next few days and I have been asked to ring environmental health tomorrow.
Could also ring councillor who helped before!

AIBU to dread having to go on living next door to them?

I am only half convinced she is gone, even though I have seen her. I find I don't know what to do with myself.

It's absolute devastation for the family. In some ways she was at the centre of it. She leaves 3 grown children, one of 14 and a baby of six months. Her partner is completely stunned. They were very much in love.

She had a very rare kidney condition called Gitelmans which I have only just discovered, online, can cause sudden death because it can affect the heart. I think the doctors are only just finding this out too.

Thank you, everyone, for the messages.

Alie, I am struggling to find the words to express my sorrow at your sad loss but send you all my sympathy and condolences. You have been in my thoughts since hearing of your loss yesterday and I just wanted to say how very very much I am feeling for you and Jayne's partner and children.

How awful for you all Alie. Sincere condolences. Stay in touch with us all! flowers

Anya Mon 04-May-15 08:21:51

Alie sudden death is such a shock, it comes out of the blue and leaves us feeling 'this can't be happening'. Don't let anyone tell you how you should be feeling, we all deal with grief in different ways.

You will find your own way through this, somehow, but it will be a long journey. Your friends on GN will be here for you I know ((((hugs))))

A sudden death is always devastating, bewildering and unbelievable. I am thinking of you as our family experienced the sudden death of a young member 2 years ago. You have to be there for each other. X
