Dear all, I hope you are well.
Just to let you know that my darling mum passed away yesterday (consumed with cancer). Her torment is over now bless. Sis and I & her 3 grandchildren were with her. We held her hand and told her how much we loved her as she gradually slipped away. The day before she died she told us that she liked the 'lights' and that dad came to sit with her when she was on her own. (Dad has been gone 10 years now) When we knew that the time was near we told her that it was safe to go into the light and that dad was there waiting for her. It has broken my heart to send her away I desperately wanted her to stay but her body had just had enough, she hadn't eaten for nearly 3 months, not a single thing. She's with dad now which is what she wanted. It goes without saying but I'll miss her so much.
The nursing home were wonderful, they just couldn't do enough for her or us. They saw to her needs 24/7 (mum had bowel cancer/liver & lung) We would never have coped without their support.
My thoughts and love are with you all who have loved ones suffering from AD. Mum never went the full stretch with this awful disease. She still knew who we were and was able to talk to us in her way hours before she died. She told us she loved us and not to cry. I will treasure this for as long as I live.
Im at a loss now, I feel that I'm in a kind of limbo. We have a lot to do this week, arrangements etc, we are going to give her the best send off (being of Irish decent) that we can and after the shin-dig I'll post back.
Take care all, god bless.
