My mother is dying and I'm racing to get to her - no point to this thread.

[SphincterSaysWhat]

That's it really.

We're abroad and she's in the NE England. She has had a massive stroke and I'm alone, racing to the airport to get a flight I might miss.

I want to see her before she goes. She's no conscious.

My sister is with her.

My heart is broken into one million piece. No need to respond - I'm just alone (husband back at resort with the kids) so just chatting I suppose. I've had an hour sleep overnight, I look like an actual muppet (crying eyes).

She is 73 and a fire cracker. She's remarkable. My heart is broken.

You’re there and you’re mum knows, unconscious or not . Hope it all goes peacefully op and much love to you and your family

Sending a massive big hug and a kiss to the forehead xx

So glad you made it there - Dr Kathryn Mannix on Women's Hour this week talking about end of life said hearing is the last thing to go. She will likely be taking such comfort from hearing your voices. Wishing you peace. xxx

So glad you made it. I lost my grandad to a stroke and although he kept going for a few weeks I knew he wasn’t going to recover. The end was very peaceful and the hospital staff were amazing. Keep talking to her, she will be able to hear you. Xx

So pleased you made it, been thinking about your journey today. Treasure your time together x

Sending strength and love to you all

So pleased you made it. I've been there, and the time by the bedside goes so fast and so slow. Thinking of you and your sister.

I'm so sorry about your wee mummy, but glad for you (and her) that you got to her.

I was there when my mum passed, and I will be forever grateful to have been there.

Thinking of you xx

So pleased you made it.

DH landed as his dad died and he has so many regrets. Sending you love and hugs - it's so tough and she sounds an amazing woman.

Your mammy will know you're there, I'm so glad you made it to be with her. Sending you love.

So glad you got there I lost my dad a month ago we sat and chatted with him and told him we loved him and held his hand as he slipped away I too have some regret that I didn’t spend as much time with him but as people remind me you could have spent 24-7 with her but you would still want more take it easy and be kind to yourself 🩷🩷

@SphincterSaysWhat so glad that you managed to travel to be with your Mum. But also, if she is dying, it could take a while.

You've made this big journey and you are spending time with her. Value that for yourself and for your mum. And value your intention to be with her.

I'm so glad you made it to be with her.

💔so sorry for your pain. But I am glad you made it home. Tell you mum everything you need to x

You have done incredibly well to get through everything to be there. You are doing so well and the support for your mum and sister will mean everything. So many good thoughts are being sent to you and your family.💐

sending lots of love.

She irritated me - with my busy life and the kids and the business - she irritated me. This woman who taught me to use a spoon. What was I thinking being irritated by her increasing age?- This is so poignant and made me cry OP- we are all guilty of this called life, I’m sure your mum was the same with her mum, I hope you make it to spend some time with her xx

I've lit a candle here for you, your Mum and your sister. My Mum was also an Irish nurse, they are the best type of Mum to have and they raise strong women.

❤

Sending lots of love OP 💖

So glad you made it. Sending lots of love x

Well done. Really well done.

xxxx

Sending you a big ((((hug)))). x

So glad that you made it there in time to be with her. Sending you love and so sorry that this happened to your beloved mum

Just seen this thread but so glad you made it, sending you a big hug
