My lovely, sweet mam passed away this morning, and I am so distraught because I never managed to be with her, the hospital rang me at 6:10, and I didnt arrive until 6:50, because I live about 35 mins from hospital, and she had already passed away, i really wanted to be with her and am finding unbearable now that there were only the nurses there. She had been very, very poorly for 11 days, not eating/drinking and yesterday when i was with her, she seemed so frightened and seemed to call out, and thats all I could do was stoke her brow and hold her hand. She is at peace now, I pleaded with God to take her yesterday ( i am not particularly religious) but I just wanted the pain & suffering to stop for her. Now I feel empty & heartbroken that my lovely mam has finally gone...... Hopefully to a much better place than she has been the last 15years.. Love & hugs for all your support over the years... Sleep peacefully my lovely, lovely mam xxxxxxxx
