29/07/08 mum passed away. no one told us it would be so soon. diagnosed just under 4 months ago and told it was inoperable. mum went on a chemo trial she had only done 3 weeks and was on a rest week when she got what they thought was a chest infection. it turned out to be be a lung infection. she went to critical care and pulled through, whilst still recovering she then got 2 more infections. twice we were called in and told it was 50/50. but she carried on then on weds we were called in again and we sat with mum 24/7 until sunday evening when she finally passed away. R.I.P i will always love you MUM.

I am so very sorry to read about your Mum passing away. At least the doctors tried to do what they could for her, getting her on the trial, but it was obviously not to be. I am so glad that you were able to be by her side, and I know that she would have appreciated that very very much (people who are seemingly unconscious are nevertheless sometimes aware and able to hear what is round them, and the gentle pressure of a familiar hand is very very helpful and reassuring.
You must be in a terrible state of loss now. Take comfort that your mum is no longer suffering, and that the love you had for each other is still here. Look after yourself. Condolences to the rest of yours and your Mum's family at this very sad time. xxxx Penny
Michelle all I can say is that I am so sorry for your loss but please take some comfort in the fact you were with your mum and her pain has ended. She will stay in your mind and your heart for ever so you haven't lost her.
My mum died 9 years ago and when it happend I was glad for her, I miss her so much and still do but I know she is with me because she is a part of me and nothing can take that away. My thoughts are with you........Love Carol
I wish there was something I could do or say that would take all your pain away, but sadly I can't. I can offer you my sincere and heartfelt condolences, and tell you that I'll think of your Mum the next time I light a candle, and I'll say a little prayer for her, and you.
We never ever forget our Mums, but with time thank God, we remember them with a smile rather than tears.
