After being diagnosed last September she lost her battle. It’s one of the most horrendous things I have ever had to encounter. It’s wasn’t peaceful. After kidney problems, suffering from HE she then got pneumonia and was struggling to breath. My dad had a heart attack last week and the way out luck has been I said she would go Christmas Day. Me and dad was there with her. I think she hung on to see my Dad today. Thank you for all your advice throughout the past year. I hope you all have a lovely Christmas and new year xxxxx

How absolutely rotten. It's hard to imagine the pain and grief that the you're feeling. Whilst your pain is yours alone, please believe that you're not alone in so many other meaningful ways.

Very good thoughts, wishes and condolences being sent your way on this poignant day. I hope that in time, Christmas day is only a reminder of happier occasions shared over the years with your mum. Take good care of yourselves. Chris x

I am so sorry to read this .... no you're right it's a horrible end and the pain you feel will be immense. Losing your Mum creates a void which can never be filled. With the support you and your Dad can give each other, cherish the happy times you had. Laura xx

So sorry for the loss of your mum, and also your dad's illness - tragic at any time, but especially this time of year. I hope you'll get some comfort from knowing she's out of pain now and in due course you'll be able to remember the better times. Much love, Louise xx

I’m so sorry to read about your mum. I know when I lost mine a few years ago, I was lost for a bit. She didn’t have liver disease but had started dementia, which for her was awful. She lost her independence, which for the feisty woman she was, was an incredible blow. She died suddenly, fast asleep on the sofa. I’m still convinced she willed it. In her more lucid moments she would tell us she that she was miserable being like she was. It was a release for her. I suspect your mum was in a similar place with her liver disease. It’s pretty tough for everyone left, but you’ll still have your happy memories of her. Remember her like that. Take care of yourself and your dad.

in reply to Aotea2012

Aotea, I had a very similar thing with my Mum. I remember her asking me what her pills were for and looking back I think she deliberately didn't take them to bring on a stroke (her 2nd) She hated the dementia and had lost my Dad 2 years before. We had watched Terry Pratchett on how he wanted to choose when to go and we both agreed - I hadn't realised at the time I agreeing to her taking it into her own hands, it was a happy release but left a big hurting hole in me.

So sorry for your loss. You probably feel you will never get over it and literally hurt inside, but it will get better. You find you can push it to the back and hurt a little less. For a while you will go to phone her about something or go to buy something as 'Mum would like that' and it will slam you back to the feeling the loss. Look after yourself and your Dad xx

I’m so sorry to hear about your Mum. I lost mine to PBC in July and it’s just horrible watching someone you live go through that. Time to look after yourselves now. It’s a rollercoaster of emotions. Be kind to yourself and do what you need to do to get through this difficult time. You’re not alone. Sending peace and strength xxx

So sorry that your mum died. Liver disease is so tough, so painful, so harsh. But her pain is over now. All I can say is what these other kind souls are saying: you and your dad, be kind and gentle with yourself and with each other. Let yourself grieve. After all grief is love too, isn’t it? It will take time but the happy memories will come back again for you both. You carry her in your heart. Bless you for all the love and care you showed her.

Dear Toffegirl, we are so sorry to hear of your loss. Sending our condolences to you,Trust10 x

I'm so very sorry to hear this and my heart goes out to you. I lost my Mum a month ago today and the last couple of weeks for her was so similar to your Mum's. It really is such a difficult and heartbreaking thing to see. There are no words I can say to help your pain but just know that I and many others on here are thinking of you. Sending you strength and love and be kind to yourself xx
