My Mam died this morning at 11.00am after contracting pneumonia. We had but her in a home 2 weeks ago so my Dad could take a holiday. She was admitted to hospital yesterday but gave up the fight this morning.
We all know this time will come to us all, but nothing helps prepare you for it.
I think the worst thing is seeing our loved ones go when they're suffering with a long term disase. We like to think somehow they could go at peace and in some way contented.
I hope you find strength. It will get better. I thought it wouldn't when I lost my dad suddenly, but it does eventually.

sorry to hear of your sad loss.
You should have no regrets you did your best and Mom is at rest now.
Keep in touch with us
All the best wishes

as everyone has said, we're very sad to hear the news, yet Mam is away from the illness now.
Your Dad will be feeling hugely lost if he has been doing any amount of caring for Mam, and he will have become dependent on that over time. You too probably. Keep an eye on one another until things settle down.
