Well it has been over two weeks now since my precious mum died. The last two weeks have in themselves been heartbreaking, with having to arrange mum's funeral and emptying out her bungalow.

Mum was sedated and slept…

They wanted to take mum to hospital but we said no as we would never forgive ourselves if she died there. We could not get her in to the hospice where she went to…
