Hi Crafty J and everyone out there in a similar situation
Sadly my journey with Mum came to an end yesterday when the call I had been dreading finally came through - Mum passed away peacefully yesterday morning.
Having collected all of her personal belongings from the care home the day before and brought them home with me, it seemed fitting that the end should come so soon afterwards.
Thanks to everyone for their support and if you are still waiting for your call to come through, I hope that as with mine whilst their loss is with immense sadness, the fact that Mum is now at peace is all that matters.
