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
