I would just like to thank all of you who replied to my post (below), each word was so comforting and appreciated. Mum is now at rest, her funeral was lovely, if a funeral can be lovely. I wish you all well. x
On Friday, my mum was finally released from the wickedness of PSP and died peacefully with her family around her. She too is free at last (I understand you 'daparose'). Her funeral is next week and I just think that at the crematorium the body we did not recognise will be gone, and she will (and already has been) restored to her former crazy glory. The lovely, beautiful loving person that was her. And that's OK. It actually feels good to know she has been restored. It has been a long, long journey, bravely borne by everyone. Her funeral is actually going to be the celebration of her life - colourful, joyful and loving. To all of you living with PSP. It is so hard without doubt. But we so tried to make life pretty despite the pain and I am so glad we did. I wish you strength and love to continue with your struggle with PSP. Xxx

Your words come from such a beautiful, tender place. I am sorry about the passing of your Mum; it's never easy, but your eloquence took that away. God bless you; I'll keep you in my prayers.
Ah0001, my thoughts and prayers are with you. May you stay positive and next week celebrate the life of your dear mum remembering all the good times before PSP.
sorry for the loss of your mum but as you say she is now pain and psp free and thats the main thing now, and celbrate her life at her funeral, our dad passed in december and when the priest did his funeral he said it was the best he had the pleasure of doing as there was so much celebration in dads life so remember that and give your mum the send she deserves psp is a cruel horrible illness and we can only wish someday there will be a cure x
Please accept my sincere condolences, I miss Jim everyday but I am sure he is now happy and restored to his former self. His funeral too was a celebration of his life and although sad was a wonderful day in many ways. Life is hard without him but I try to remember all the years we had together and be thankful for those happy memories. I hope you will be able to remember all the wonderful times you had with your Mum.
I have no words......Your mother was clearly an amazing and special person to have raised such a caring, devoted, loving person as you. I hope you continue to celebrate her life and legacy. Someone once said that no-one is truly dead until there's no-one left to remember them.
I'm glad the end was peaceful and she was surrounded by those she loved.
Sorry to hear about your mother. She is at peace now indeed. My dad passed away in September after a good battle. Someone said to me shortly after his funeral 'Don't try and get over it...It's too big' A great piece of advice after you see your true hero die with dignity and humility. I wish you and your family great comfort over the next few months but no doubt your mother too was also a true hero. May she rest in peace. x
I wish you well in your celebration of your lovely Mum. It will soon be a year since my own mum passed and she is still thought of every single day in the nicest ways and in her sense of fun and humour. xx
I am so sorry about your loss but i';m not sorry for your mum, cos as you said she is going to be free of the suffering that this dreadful illness brings too us,,,,,,,,xxx i am a great believer i God and i know that you will be together again one day, may God bless you \xxxxxxxxxxxx
