Had the call from care home my mum has Covid

[Kenworthington]

Just now.
She’s 81, type 1 diabetic, heart failure, had a massive heart attack in March , worsening vascular dementia. It’s not going to go well is it? My dad who’s end stage dementia in the same home has tested negative but I imagine it’s only a matter of time. The home is riddled with it apparently 😔

I am so sorry OP

I'm so sorry for your loss at this awful time. Take good care, hugs x

Sorry for you loss 💐

I'm so glad you got to be with her. I hope the next few days go as well as they can.

Just wanted to say I’m so sorry to hear of your loss, OP.

@Kenworthington I'm so very sorry for you loss

@Kenworthington my heart breaks for you .. I have read the post and cannot see update on your dad .... big big hugs darling x

Your mum sounds lovely and you did everything you could for her. Sorry for your loss.

Thank you for all your lovely comments.what a weird long week this has been. I have organized a very measly Covid safe funeral. It’s not what she deserves. I can’t even have a wake. But still I am trying to do the best of it I can. I have ordered a beautiful willow coffin and a gorgeous huge spray of wildflowers to decorate the coffin. I have chosen some jazz for the ceremony as the entry and exit music and chosen the poem. Now I need to write my eulogy. I have ordered suits for the boys. It will only be me, dh, the dc and mums cousin there. I think the neighbors will prob come out into the road when the hearse arrives. The funeral director seems really lovely and has been really helpful. She asked me today if I want to go in and see mum and I’m just not sure. I don’t think I can handle it. I just feel so flat and lonely and the days are passing so slowly. It would help me so much if I could get out and see friends or have them visit. A couple came for a driveway visit on Wednesday which was lovely but I just want a hug! Friends have offers to come to the funeral too but I just feel like it would be irrelevant given Mums death.
To a previous poster who enquired after my dad- he’s still fine!!

Ugh not irrelevant- I meant irresponsible!

Lots and lots of best wishes I am very sorry xxx
