Blood cancers and end of life care.

Hello Jane

I think that's an excellent thing to do to help others.

As you share my humour I will tell you about my mother's funeral. Shortly before her death she expressed the wish to go to medical science.  I said that they probably wouldnt do that just on my say so and there needed to be paper work. She didnt even have a will as she had very limited funds. 

She then deteriated very quickly and all this was forgotten. I arranged a suitable funeral that I think she would have liked. A friend prepared some food for guests to have at my house as she had been living me. It was a beautiful sunny winter day.

Then after all the guests had gone I was able to sit and reflect and suddenly remembered her request. I think my exact words to myself were 'damn, I wasnt supposed to bury her.' But it was too late of course.

I have included donations to researchin my will so hope that will make up for iit.

Dear tessa, as with all things medical there is paperwork involved so you were right about that !
I have instructed my husband to make a generous donation to my hospice to pay them back for the five star service they are providing me with, it’s like a luxury hotel. A sense of humour is always on display In my crafting class at the hospice and occasionally some tears, which is always met with a hug.

best wishes
