>First and most importantly, I am sorry to hear of your loss.

Thanks Doug. Worst part was that I couldn't go to the hospital because I'm immunosuppressed too. Another brother who had worked in a plce with the same fungus/mold said that he could smell it as soon as he entered the hospital.

>Again.. I understand this is a private affair and I've had to also wrestle with issues like this so I mean no offense. I was just curious. Does Canada step into situations like this and provide for her in a form like our Social Security Administration would?

I'm not sure of the details, but yes they do. Something about his due Canada Pension transferred to sister-in-law immediately. And a couple of other social programs that can kick in depending on amounts. But it took just over four months for the first of this to come in, which wasn't so hot.
