I have been on the site a few times either asking a few questions about my mother in law, or reading posts to see how everyone else is doing.

The sad news is that my mother in law passed away on the 16th june.

She had been admitted to hospital with cellulitus in her leg. whilst she was in she had another drain, but complications where a vein was caught, she needed 3 pints of blood, but did improve.

The problem was because her kidneys started to struggle and her platelets were very low, the options for treatment were limited.

The doctors spoke to my mother in law and she asked to be let home on palliative c are.

She spent a week at home with family and passed peacefully in her sleep.

The illness did not get her down and she was always positive,.

Thank you again for support given when I needed it.

Oh my love, I’m so sorry.

Your Mum in law looks a wonderful, happy lady.

When my mum died of something unrelated I know we would have loved to have her home at the last but it wasn’t possible. I hope that as a family you managed to have a bit of happy time before she died.

NASH and all other liver diseases are terrible and it’s a big pity she became decompensated.

Sending you lots of love and best wishes

Thank you xx

So sorry to hear that Gina. Two consolations - imho - are that she died in her sleep and she was at home with you...

Hope you both are starting to get over it....

Oh Gina, such sad news. At least you can gain solace that she was with you at home, and passed peacefully. I sincerely hope and pray that you and your family can grieve together as one, and hopefully remember her in better times. Thinking of you at this sad time.
