My Mum has died, just sixteen days after I lost my Dad.

Following on from this thread: My lovely Mum passed away this evening, she had suffered so long and hard with her health and just didn't want to keep going after Dad died.

We withdrew all treatment and she died peacefully, with four of her six children with her in hospital.

I've not cried yet, despite being with her and having to telephone my sister (who lives in the US) and tell my DH.

Thank you all for your support over the past weeks. x

You poor thing, what awful blows.

There are quite a few of us antipodeans around on here, if you can't sleep and need to chat in the middle of the night.

Thank you all. I am feeling somewhat numb, even though I've just spent the past three nights in hospital with her waiting for this to happen.

I'm going to bed now. Thank you. x

Oh LilRed, I'm so sorry

So, so sorry. Have also just experienced a family death two weeks ago, and it is unthinkably difficult.

Sounds as though her death was serene, with so many of the family there to support her and each other.

Do you think you can sleep tonight?
