So sorry to hear this news @Alison66. I hope the end was peaceful, and that you can find some peace too amidst the grief - funeral planning can be a temporary distraction. Almost a year on, I still look at TP most days - it continues to be a big source of comfort to me, and I hope it will be for you too. You did all you could for your mum, and you can be proud of the time and love you gave her xxx
Thank you so much @hilaryd according to the staff at the care home my mums passing was peaceful and yes compared to my dad's passing, mums was much less traumatic. However, I don't think it was that peaeful and I just can't get mums "pleading eyes" -that's how I seen them- out of my head. I know that will fade as time goes on.Time passes so quickly and now as I post this it's just 15 minutes short of 1 whole week since I lost her and there's another full week to go before mums funeral, which yes is a temporary distraction. It's hard to pin down how I feel because most of the time I just feel void.and in a daze
I can't thank people on this forum enough for the compassion and support I've had here
