@Shockedandspeechless but of course you can join in. I am so sorry for your loss. We are all here to support each other with loving understanding.

@Spiritwriter that's a really nice post I hope I get to the point where I really believe she is somewhere. Some days I do some days I don't. I was in m and s earlier today and saw the stand with the Mother's Day cards on and just burst into tears turned the pram round and left so fast.
I'm hoping my husband has the sense not to ask me to sort a card or present for his mum. Have you seen the new thread posted below ??

Hi @mrssunshinexxx I'm so sorry 😔 and that would be SO insensitive if yiur husband did do that! I would blow my shit at mine. But... I'm no fan of my mil so.... And he knows it.
Just go with those times when you feel your mum is there xxx sending you big hugs xxxx
No... What is the thread below?

mrssunshinexxx · 15/02/2021 19:08

I'll tag you in it it's a follow on from this as it's almost full. Thank you. Ha yes me and MIL less said the better we got on really well before my mum died but she's been so insensitive and she likes to play the victim! @Spiritwriter xxx

Thanks. Do tag me in. I want to keep in touch.
Ugh. Oh dear. That's bad that the relationship has changed. Still... Sometimes these events reveal some true colours.

@spiritwriter thank you.

Sorry to hear your sad news @Shockedandspeechless

I hope you are doing as OK as you can in the circumstances?

Try to remember the basics - rest and fluid. The first hours and days are so very hard. X

So sorry @Shockedandspeechless I missed your comment. You must be in complete shock ! Was it expected ? If you scroll down a few comments to mummylin comment and come on that thread x

@crunchymum thank you, I appreciate your kind words. I'm so sorry to everyone who's lost parents. Sorry, not the best at this! I'm worried about my Dad who was with Mum at the end.

@mrssunshinexxx thank you. I think I'd stuck my head in the sand - I have another username but changed it after mum's diagnosis. Mum went into a hospice last week of her own choice last week & I'm all ' mum will come home'. I think I chose NOT to think about it. Which is so bad.
