Client passed away...wife been in touch!

(1/4) > >>

Plainjane:
Urgently seeking advice as really unsure what to do. I've been seeing a guy once a month for many years.  In between bookings we keep in touch by text regularly as we have things in common (love of dogs etc).

We had a meet scheduled last week but the day before client texted to say he had to cancel as he was unwell. He promised to keep in touch but I didn't receive any updates fo a few days.  This is extremely unlike him as he's retired and has lots of time on his hands!

So yesterday I messaged saying "I'm really concerned about you.  Are you ok? X"

This morning I've received a text saying "I don't know who you are, but Xx passed away last week ".
I feel awful..what do I do?

Anyone else ever been in this situation?

Thank you in advance x

Plainjane:
Ps...should have also said the message to me said ."I'm Xxx partner "

I haven’t been in this exact situation before but have you thought that it might not be true ? She might have seen your messages on his phone and caught him out. Or it might just his way of saying he doesn’t want to see you anymore.

I’m sorry for being so cynical but not everything that men say or do is true.

Mirror:
Experience of client death, is one reason I insist on on the day confirmation.

Not too long ago I received a death notice text from a wife, likely sent to all contacts it detailed his business and funeral arrangements. We actually had contact a few days before, he mentioned feeling unwell and I know he had health issues for a long time.

On the other hand one client was a total surprise wasn't particularly of an age, and fairly fit.

Plainjane:
Hi

Thanks for your reply.  I had actually considered this so I did some research on a gun dog forum that he was active on, and I confirm he has indeed passed away x
