When my husband died I never realized how much paperwork there really was and the amount of death certificates that were needed. The photocopying and all that stuff was extremely surprising to me and overwhelming. I think how we can ease this and make it doable is by asking, what do the front people do at Service Canada? Is there just one form that we can fill out? Maybe this form is going to be five pages because it requires information for all the different departments, but I would rather sit down and fill out one five-page document than have to fill out a similar document over and over again with the same information.
It's a good question. I'll put it out to my colleagues here.
