I wanted to add my condolences to you Slugsta. You have been so incredibly strong. I hope you have some time to rest up and recharge your own batteries you must be exhausted. X

Sending you a big hug. Take lots of time now to mourn the mum you lost many years ago due to this dreadful disease as well as the mum she became, as although two totally different people, you loved them both xxxxx

We have seen the Funeral Director today and have an appointment with the registrar on Friday. I am lucky in that Mum's flat was emptied and returned to the Housing Association when she went into the CH, so there are just a few clothes and some knick-knacks to deal with now.

It feels rather strange at home as we moved here after Mum went into the CH and she never saw the place - so there are no memories of her here.

Thank you all for your kindness and support.

Slugsta, I am so sorry for your loss hun, but also so glad that it was peaceful for your Mum at the end. I hope now that you are getting a chance to rest and recover - you have been so strong. I couldn't get onto TP to see how things were while we were away, but I thought of you often. It's tough when the relationship with your Mum wasn't aways the best, but you definitely have nothing that the guilt monster can torment you with - you just couldn't have done more to support your mum, all the way through this horrible journey. Take some time for you now, sending you massive {{{{{hugs}}}} xxxx

I meant to say the other day, that my father died in 1994, and we moved house in 95, I was quite sad for a few weeks afterwards that he hadn't seen our house, he would have been really happy for us, and then 6 months later we got a new 3 piece suite (money was spent on canoes at the time, we'd tipped the old one when we moved) and I was really sad he didn't get to see it, as he would have really liked it (we were mid 20s so still getting settled in life - although still in same house)

Oddly when we next replaced the sofa, asked mum if she liked it, as she'd not commented, and she said 'oh I thought you'd had that a while so I hadn't said anything' - didn't twig at the time this was an early sign of dementia that she couldn't remember what we had so assumed we'd always had it. (sorry rambled off)
