The officers of the Phetkasem Bangkok Foundation have brought the elderly man, to request the death certificate of his wife, whose wife has died since 2001.
Background
The family was very happy until the day that his wife died from a disease. After her death, none of the family members can bear the pain.
The elderly man was unable to make up his mind, so he brought the body of his wife to keep at home while the two children had separated to work and had a family so they didn’t have time to take care of an elderly man.
For the last 21 years, the elderly man lived with his wife’s soulless body in agony and misses his wife every day. Now that elderly man is getting old, he would like to ask for help from Petchkasem Bangkok Foundation to help arrange for the body of Auntie to be cremated for religious ceremonies.
