My mother's wedding ring was stolen off her dead body

DEAR DEIDRE: IT was my mum’s dying wish that I have her wedding band so it’s heartbreaking that it’s been stolen.

It was something I’d dreamed of showing to my kids one day.

As Mum died suddenly, the police were called.

An officer who attended assured me the ring she was wearing would be returned, as they couldn’t remove it on the day, but I’ve been on a wild goose chase ever since.

I’m a woman of 42, and my mother died a year ago.

I’ve asked the hospital and the mortuary, who both claim not to have it.

The undertaker told me he would check on it, but is yet to get back to me.

I can’t help but wonder where it is.

DEIDRE SAYS: The ring is one of the last things linking you to your mother, so it’s no surprise you’re worried about its whereabouts.

Contact the undertaker again – they should be able to tell you if she was wearing it when she was buried or cremated.

But also get in touch with the police who were there.

This hunt will be drawing out the grief process. My bereavement support pack will help you.
