My Mum RIP

My mum passed away at 12.30pm today. I was with her. She was agitated all morning. Her morphine patch was doubled. Suddenly she stopped making noises and shouting Mum, was calm and gradually stopped breathing. I told her Dad was waiting for her and she could go. I hoped it helped her. All her wrinkles went. She is now free from pain. Love you Mum

Not too bad. I keep telling myself that Mum is in a better place and not suffering. I just wish there was something to tell me she is OK. We collected £100 for the home from only a few people - so I will take that to them this week. They are having an Easter Fair soon so I will make some crafty things for them. I feel though as a big responsibility has gone. I do not have to listen for the phone going each night. Have got to get used to not visiting as well. I am not getting any younger, so have told DH that now we must start going out a bit more while we can. But to take each day as it comes. If that makes sense.

How are you Pud.

Hi osky. Not good. I hit a car today which had gone through a red light. Have just got home from the hospital, with severe bruising. That is all thank goodness. How are you?

I'm very sorry pud. I can relate to you wanting to talk about your last time with your mum. I thinkthink of those times with my mum often. Wishing you strength and peace.

Hi Pud, oh dear! that must have been a great shock, thank goodness you weren't more seriously hurt, although severe bruising will be very painful I imagine, then you will start thinking of what might have been.

I hope you have someone who will look after you the next couple of weeks, your DH, son or DIL - you need to be taken care of for a while.

I will be thinking of you and hoping your injuries get better soon.

I am OK, sort of, but very tired.

I will keep in contact with you to see how you are getting on.
