Thank you all for your kind words

I would like to say a big 'thank you' to all, for your kind words. Sadly my mum passed away yesterday early morning, losing her fight against the most 'horrendous aggressive' cancer which she had only for the last 6-8 weeks, a complete utter blow to us all.

Much love

Pamela

Thinking of you. Its awful when you lose a parent, it doesn't matter what age. I'm glad you had those few weeks with her at the end and that she had her family around her.

My dad died of a sudden heart attack in December 23rd and it was awful. So many things I would like to have said and I hope you managed to get these thoughts to your mum and youre Mum knew how much she was loved x

Christmas will be sad probably but I'm sure your mum wouldnt like you to be sad and would want you and your family to be happy together.

Life is wonderful, grieve, laugh, cry , it all helps the pain.

I'm so very sorry Pamela. It's hard but I suppose you've to be thankful if she wasn't going to be able to fight it she didn't suffer long. You never truly prepare for what you're going through just now but your memories of her will give you & those closest to you comfort & maybe a few smiles when you think of her own little ways.

Christmas won't be the same this year, memories of childhood ones & previous Christmasses will jump in & out of your head but one thing's for sure she would want you to go ahead & enjoy it. You'll cry & laugh, we did, our emotions were all over the place but you'll get through it as a family.

Take good care & you know we're here if you need us. x

Thank you nomoreheels, my mum always came to us from xmas eve till after Boxing Day.

This year in autopilot got through the day which was treated basically as a normal day in a different way. Plus knowing mum is still with us till her funeral day, which will be sorted hopefully this week. Spent time with my 2 brothers recently at my mum as need to find certain documents plus where to start in sorting through her things.

Thank you

Best wishes

Oh bless you.You will feel so lost without her. When you see everyone enjoying their selves this xmas it will be very hard for you.Hope all family will help each other through this terrible time.

When my Mum died I felt like an orphan and a small child again.My lovely husband and sisters helped each other such alot and made us more closer than we already were.

Maybe you can be with your family and chat about all the happy n funny times you had with your mum.It will be hard but talking helps.

Fra22-57 thank you. Strangely that is how I feel a orphan, totally lost.

I am sorry to hear you lost your mum, no time prepares anyone from losing people who are precious in our lives. We do find comfort with our families and friends.

Although mum passed away 6 days before xmas i feel possibly next year might hit me more as would sunken in more plus been gone a year.

We were all close to our mum.

Most dreading saying our last final goodbyes once her day as been arranged but know we will get strength from each other.

Best wishes

Hi Pamela. My heart goes out to you and your family. It is perhaps a blessing that she didn't suffer too long and that there was time for everyone to say their goodbyes. Huge gentle hugs

Sad thing was Jan, my mum was sent away from a particular hospital on 2 occasions saying nothing wrong apart from pneumonia after having X-rays etc which got treated having 2 nurses and a doctor daily taking bloods etc.

My mum had low blood pressure and one particular day fell backwards which was a blessing as she was admitted into another hospital who done the same X-rays and scans to discover she was riddled with cancer which should had been picked up. Had my mum not fallen she would of continued just taking paracetamol's instead of correct medication to make her comfy as all she wanted to do was sleep.

We cannot fault St Thomas's for her treatment making her pain free during her last 4 weeks.

My mum is now pain free but still feel she's with us as we have not said our last goodbyes.

Thank you Jan

Best wishes

Im sorry to hear youd news. This year is first without my dad, my eldest brother is 70, who lives 300 miles away and not feeling too good, usually comes to us for Cmas and has decided not to come up this year so dont have him or my dad. My brother helped bring me up as im 11 years younger. I understand as he must think if himself. Not the same as you but have some understanding. I would just say look after yourself. Take care

Ruth12345,

Apologies for late replying. I am so sorry for the loss of your dad. Not having your brother with you this year is extremely sad.

Maybe next year your brother will be able to spend xmas with you and family or possibly you might be able to visit your brother.

It is a hard time of year for many of us, but we are all here to help each other throughout the year.

Best wishes Ruth

Sending {hugs}

Hi Beeckey, apologises for delay in replying, sorry to hear about losing both parents and brother totally understand how you feel.

I've now lost both parents also a brother few years ago. Mums funeral was last Wednesday 24th.

Since last Friday the flu hit me like a bolt on penicillin for chest and throat in bed for 6 days couldn't do nothing.

Hope to recover in time due to ski in couple of weeks. I feel slightly better but get tired.

My mums sister died couple weeks after mum through shock doubt I'll be attending aunties funeral next Tuesday.

Sending you {hugs} and love
