It’s mums funeral tomorrow it has been the longest 2 weeks of my life. Everything is planned we just want to make it perfect for her. She chose the song just smile by nat king cole, I was sat watching X factor with her in 2014 and a young contestant sang it Mum said to me listen to the words they are beautiful I’d like this playing at my funeral and I’d like you all to just smile... I will try my hardest for you Mum 💔

I am so great full that mums at peace now because she suffered so much with shitty psp but I miss her so much she has been my life for so long I would give anything to have 1 more day with her. I’m just not ready to say my final goodbye tomorrow

Sending peace hugs and love to all you beautiful people that have been there for me through mums journey.

Absolutely heartbroken

Its a lovely song. We had Ella Fitzgerald singing " Every time we say goodbye " - every one in tears. Finished with Louis Armstrong " Its a wonderful world " to end with a smile !

All through Chris' funeral I felt he was there and enjoying it so much !!

Stay strong. I hope it goes well.

Big hug from Jean xx

Jayne it may be over now, but if not a great big hug to you. Oddly I found the funeral alright. I just made it what G would want. I told myself I would not cry. I managed until we went to the Crematorium and one of our favourite songs was played. Then I shed a tear or two.

I have shed many since however. Although some days it feels so unreal.

God bless you and RIP your dear Mum.

Thinking of you.

It is the part of this tortuous journey that no one wants to reach, until the suffering is too much to bear.

Your Mum will be will you and now flying free and at peace.

I hope these darkest of memories will develop into remembering the happy, warm, love memories. Take time and be kind to yourself xxx

Aw So sorry for your loss. Heartbreakibg and a truly shitty disease like you said! I am in a caregiving journey right now for the past 3 years with my hubby of only 51! Wow....what a song your mum chose and what a gift she left for you! Every time you hear it after tomorrow you can know she is there with you!
