To everyone who has helped me on the other thread I just want to say thank you so much for all your support and help.
My mum was moved to a nursing home yesterday, she arrived at 4 o'clock. She was back in her beloved Holmfirth, where she grew up and where she wanted to be.
She died in the early hours of this morning.
My sister nor myself were there as the home had written my phone number down wrong so couldn't contact me and my sister never heard the phone ringing. The nurse said she stayed with mum till the end and she was peaceful.
Yesterday was the only day that neither myself nor my sister had seen my mum since she had been in hospital - because everytime we rang the hospital they just said they were waiting for transport so by the time we got there she could be on her way to the home. We took her photo's and flowers to the home so they would be in her room ready for her when she arrived.
We had just arrived back home when the home rang and said my had just got there so we must have missed her by minutes.
The doctor would not sign the death certificate as he said her death was unexpected so the police had to be called in and we are now waiting for a call from the Coroner.
My mum was a lovely lady, 96 years old and had been lucky enough to have a good healthy life until very recently so we have to be thankful for that. I hope she knew we loved her.
