Hello @Nanosaro and thanks for reaching out, I'm sorry to hear about the passing of your mum, that can't be easy for any of you. 

I've had a quick search now, and the housing charity Shelter has some information on when the tenant of a council house dies which I hope is useful for you. I'd encourage you to reach out to them for any information or advice you might need on housing or concerns around homelessness. 

You've said you're worried about your dad passing too, so well done for taking the time to post, and I hope we can help support you and easy those worries. 

If any of you are having a tough time mentally, or struggling with grief, you might like to contact The Good Grief Trust, or Cruse, for extra support, and someone to listen. 

Don't hesitate to ask if we can support you further
