My heart goes out to you, I know so well how you feel. It's seven months today since my Jackie died and I feel the pain every day.

I'm so glad you managed to keep your promise to your mum, you looked after her so well.

Do take care, Ian

thank you so much for sharing this with us. I am so grateful that you will stay on the forum here because you will have a wealth of knowledge by experience.

You gave your mum the care and most important the ending that I hope I too can achieve. Even as you grieve, be proud of that last gift.

I hope you have support. I am thinking of you. Gill x

I'm so sorry for the loss of your mum. I would add that your mum raised you right and as a mom myself, we can rest in peace when we know that our children are in a good place in life. I hope that your end of life experience with mum will give you some comfort as you grieve your loss. Take good care.
