Mum passed away on Thursday at 7 pm.

She suffered, we all suffered. I have never been so terrified and horrified in my life but i am so glad i found the strength to keep our promise to do our best for you mum to enable you to stay at home. It was the kindness and support from her doctor and team of nurses that helped to make it possible also so to them i am eternally grateful too.

Love you mum, don't know how we will find the stength to go on without you but we will and that's testament to you and the fantastic mum you have been to me and my sisters all our lives.......love you XXXXX

Thank you Tracey.

The end was rapid although everyday felt like an eternity, watching her suffer. In a way though it makes it more acceptable that she is gone because it was so awful and we did not want her to suffer anymore.

Work, although saying some very insensitive things are being fine. My friend was right when she said I would get to a certain point when i really wouldn't care about work or what they say, its unimportant in light of everything else. The doctor signed me off for 2 weeks, they wanted me to take 1 week as holiday, i refused and said if that was the case i would leave. They quickly changed their minds!!

We have mum's funneral Monday, we have had to wait a bit due to all the bank hols but that is fine because it meant for a while we could do nothing and it gave us time to just 'be'.

Take care XXXXXX
