Sorry for your loss TR. Your family gave her the best end anyone could hope for: being close to people you love and who love you.

Thank you everybody. Your thoughts are much appreciated  It's been a strange day. After mum died at 10:30, doctor came at 12:30 so then I was able to phone the undertakers. Mum had a funeral plan so that was straightforward. The undertakers came at 3:30. Sister took an hour out to tell my elder nephew (both nephews are on the autistic spectrum and elder needs careful handling with an event like this - all good though. He went for a walk on his own to start processing it and his brother stayed home to be there when he returned whilst my sister rejoined us at mum's). So a lot of sitting around where we could think about admin etc to come, but not actually do or plan anything concrete. That will come soon enough. Whilst we are sad, we are also relieved that it was a rapid decline and end, and that mum didn't suffer for an extended time. The fact that it was a life completed rather than a life cut short makes it easier, and we were blessed that apart from my eldest who lives in Cumbria all the close family had time with mum in the final 48 hours. Whilst it would have been nice for her to make her century in June, the price for her in discomfort and pain would not have been worth it. We are very blessed. |
