After a very long but brave and dignified fight against COPD my beautiful mum sadly passed away last week. On many occasions I have sat at her hospital bed holding her hand whilst she has been sleeping and I have found this site to be very comforting and helpful. I just wanted to say thank you!

So sorry about your loss you take care

Losing my mother was painful, especially as I had been nursing her in the local Cottage hospital. All I can say, the pain will be replaced by happy memories. My best wishes from Annieseed x

I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. My mother died after a long illness in June this year and I am still grieving. Just remember to be kind to yourself. Let yourself grieve properly. When the sadness has let up a bit you are quite right you will remember the happy memories. All the best. Hugs

I am so sorry to hear about your Mum. I lost mine seven years ago at 87 years old and my Dad two years ago. He was 95 and 11 months.I still find it very hard. I know how you are feeling. If is of any help the pain does get easier but you will get good and bad days at first. If you need to talk we are here for you.

Oh God bless you your post took me back to February this year when I lost my Mom she had COPD smoked like a train and passed away at the age of 87. The next few months will be a blur you will do things that will make no sense until further down the line. I found it important that I got everything right when it came to Moms funeral I put her a packet of cigs a picture of her best pal and a apron my daughter made her and now when I feel I need to be close to her I go to the crematorium sit on the bench near where her ashes were scattered, we are all hear for you, you should never feel alone. x
