Not sure why I'm posting really. She was diagnosed as terminally ill in November but had been quite well since Easter. Sudden decline last week. I'll miss her. She was a huge influence on my life (like all mothers I suppose). I hate to think how lonely and scared she must have felt since her diagnosis. Yet she never showed it. But I keep thinking about how I would feel about dying and leaving my DC if that was me - she must have felt sad for us and for herself and that's almost worse than feeling sad for myself. If that makes sense! Anyone else very recently bereaved by a parent?
