  • Hi and a warm welcome to our group, although I'm sorry to hear about your mum. There's a special bravery in people who want to be allowed to pass in their own way without interference, but that takes a special bravery from the loved ones who are their carers and I admire your sense of calm. You say that you are 'trying to understand' and I know what you mean; it can take a while to get your head round the whole experience of caring for a love one in the later stages of life. You're so right to be 'spending precious times' with your mum. I have a very special memory of a long and gentle hug with my dad before he passed and I admire you for being there enjoying those moments. Please post here whenever you'd like to chat.

    Love and hugs,

    LoobyLou
