You could try calling BA to see if they can accomodate your needs somehow.
Did they say why? I think it's regrettable they no longer offer this. When something such as this comes along it would be a real help, one less thing to worry about at an extremely stressful time. As long as proof is given I really don't see a problem and it would simply be a very nice, and right thing to do.Sympathies to the OP.
