Chickendoodle Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I am so sorry. Your Mum looked like a really lovely lady. Take a lot of comfort in that you were with her in her final months and were able to say everything you needed to. The next couple of years will be very hard. Give yourself time to grieve and don't expect to bounce back to your normal self in any given time frame. It took me about 2 years to fully come to terms with losing my Mum but everyone is different. You don't ever fully get over it (I missed my Mum so much when my YD got married this year and she died 6 years ago) but you do learn to live with it. The time will come when your first thought in the morning is not one of grief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reikiranf Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 So sorry to hear your news, your Mum was obviously a special person who touched a lot of peoples lives, so she will live on forever in their memories. I lost both of my parents last year and although I have tearful days occasionally & don't feel right without them, I can't help but smile when I think of them because we were always laughing when we where together. Think of the good times as that's what kept me going, you and your family are in my thoughts. xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newcountrygirl Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is - my mum died on 11th August this year. You think they will always be there especially when they have been having repeated incidents and bouncing back. My mum kept having mini strokes. We managed to moved her into sheltered accommodation and she loved it. Then suddenly she had another mini stroke. He carer rang to tell me and I went straight to the hospital thinking it would be the same as last time - a couple of days in hospital and then home but she had a bad heart attack and died shortly after. At least i was able to be with her to the end. Try and remember all the happy times - your mum sounds like an amazing person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groovychook Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 Thank you to everyone for all your support and lovely words... you've helped me through a difficult week. The funeral is to be held next Monday at a lovely little woodland church, just up the lane from my parents home. It is a place that was very dear to Mum, she walked the dogs through there every day and loved the place. I know it will be a very sad day for us all, but I'm hoping that we'll draw a lot of comfort from it too. Friends, family and neighbours have all been so kind and supportive, I'm sure that there will be lots of people there. It will be nice to hear from different folks and their memories of Mum. There's been so much to organise and lots of phone calls to make over the past few days, that we haven't had time really for it all to sink in. I'm sure that after the funeral we'll have plenty of time to reflect. Thanks very much again, Lynny xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Just wanted to add my condolences to the rest, Lynny. Your Mum sounds a wonderful lady and I'm sure she will be greatly missed. Take comfort in knowing you did all you could to make her life as happy as possible and to make her feel cherished. You are a credit to her. *hugs* I think we can all feel guilty at times for not showing how much we value those close to us. I'm glad you had the opportunity to show your Mum just how much she meant to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
