Title: Sad day
Post by: Terbs on 14 December 2015, 20:17:16
Hi all....

Sadly, today, my mum gave up the fight for life, and passed away at lunch time. I saw her last night, on my way through to Brackley, to see my grand-daughter who has broken her elbow.
This morning, the Care home phoned to say mum had gone downhill and they were calling the doctor. They then phoned to say the doctor had been and diagnosed a possible infection or the start of pneaumonia. They said they also thought it was the start of 'end of life', and would let me know if she got worse. Before many minutes had passed, I received another call to say she had passed away..
Those who know the history, know she is at peace at last, after suffering for over a year now. Totally bedridden since November last year. Combined with dementia.
Was supposed to be going to a cousins funeral in Tewkesbury tomorrow, but I have given my apologies on that.
So will be a subdued Christmas here :(

Thankyou all for your kind words. It has been a very trying year, for want of a better word.
Now to try to sort the formalities, alongside trying to keep Christmas 'happy' for the little ones.
I have to say, the Care home in Aylesbury have been fantastic since she went in there. After the horrific stories in the media, it does put you on edge. They have just been on to me a few minutes ago, the night shift this time, saying how sorry they are, and she went peacefully.
She is now just round the corner from me at the funeral directors, so in a way, back home.

Condolences to both of you, its always heartbreaking to lose a parent, no matter how old we are.
I lost my Dad 18 months ago in similar circumstances to Tony. Poor old fella was 83, in a poor state of physical and mental health, and in all honesty he had had enough, but I still cried like a baby at his funeral, and still miss him every day.  :'(
