MUM has
Passed Away
Hi
I spoke to you in the family and friends group recently when you told me that your mum had sadly passed away.
Another newcomer to this group is Nannasgirl1982 whose dad passed away last year. I thought that you might like to support each other through this difficult time. Clicking here will take you to her recent post and I will also link her to yours.

Aww I'm so sorry for your loss hun. I lost my dad last March after his brave battle with terminal lung cancer. He was only 63.
the last time I saw and spoke to my dad was on Christmas day 2018 when my mum did a surprise video call when she got to my youngest sister's.
I wasn't able to to see my dad in person as myself and my f fiance were living in the North East until last June, which is when we moved back home.
myself and my fiance were able to attend my dad's funeral with the help of my youngest sister and sister-in-law as they paid our travel fare.
Oh I am so sorry fir your loss.
Even though we know what is going to happen nothing prepares you for when that time arrives x
That must if been so upsetting not to be able to see your Dad.
Mum had just fought to get home after a 5 week stay in hospital and was with us for a further 2 weeks.
I stayed there with my dad and brother but when she passed I had gone home to feed the kids x people say its wjat she wanted but doesn't take the feeling5of guilt away.
So glad you got to go to your Dads funeral. Due to covid arranging mums is proving hard ..
Stay in touch ️
Thank u hun and I will. I hope u manage to arrange a funeral your mum will be proud of and happy with, hun xx
Hiya hun, how r u today? I was wondering if you have managed to arrange your mum's funeral yet? X
Hi lovely
How are you doing ️
We had mums funeral 2weeks ago it was beautiful My youngest (10)read a poem it was so emotional.
We were supposed to do the interment of her ashes last Friday but unfortunately my Dad was admitted to hospital on the Thursday.
He was tested positive for covid  Wr thought we were loosing him too on Monday but he's a fighter and today has had a big turn around.
Couldn't write my life experiences at the mo..
Haven't had time to grieve for mum properly yet.
Hope you and yours are ok and life treating you well xxx
Aww I'm sorry to hear about your dad, hun. I hope he feels better soon.
I'm glad that I managed to arrange your mum's funeral, hun.
take your time with adding things to your profile on here hun and try and find some time and a quiet place so that u can grieve for ur mum xxxx
We were hoping to have our dad's ashes interred with our nanna (our dad's late mum), but we haven't been able to raise the money for it yet. My youngest sister has our dad's ashes at hers until we can raise the money to have them interred with our late nanna (which is what our dad always told us he wanted to be load to rest with his mum, dad and eldest sister) as well as having red roses (we used the fake ones) laid on his coffin.
The only down side is that our dad wanted to be buried with our nanna, but we had to have him cremated first as there was only enough room for and urn to be placed in the plot with his mum, dad and eldest as xxx
