My mum's dying

And I can't get there until tomorrow. It may be too late. I have to get a train. Getting older is shit.

I've been away for a few days, first time in years. I'm in a guest house not knowing what to do with myself. Everything's packed ready for me to get up and go in the morning. My big sis is with her, my little sis doesn't want to be there at the end and my brothers are on their way. She only got taken in today. Such a fucking shock and so fucking unfair.

She passed peacefully at 6.30 this morning. My big sis and I were with her although she waited for the 10 minute window we were asleep, the bugger. I'm sat with her now and she looks beautiful. Thank you all for your support and thoughts xx

I can't think of a better way to go than surrounded by my sleeping children Flowers

I'm so sorry for your loss. But I'm sure you'll take great comfort that you were able to be with her for her last days, and that her end was peaceful. You must be completely exhausted, so look after yourself for a bit now 💐

So sorry for you loss. My mum died in Jan so I can fully empathise on how you must feel right now. Take care of yourselves.

I’m so sorry for your loss 💐
I hope you get some comfort in knowing that you were with her in the end and she passed knowing how much you all loved her.

You were with her and she slipped away quietly so as not to disturb you 💐

So sorry, OP. You must be so exhausted now, please look after yourself. It will hit you at odd times, even though you think you’ve processed it already because you’ve been with her in the run up to it and knew it was coming. 💐
