Free at last

[Hdee]

Hi everyone,

My beautiful mum is free, my mum, Margaret, died on Friday 8th September, 3.5 years after diagnosis and 7 years of symptoms. Myself and her other two daughters were by her side . The last few days are a bit of a blur, in the end she stopped eating a few days before she died and we waited. She was quite unresponsive for the last couple of days, she was given morphine on the day she died and passed quite soon afterwards.

It’s amazing how soon after her death I’ve been able to forget how she was in the years since PSP took its hold on her, all the memories of her being well have flooded back and I can celebrate her for what an amazing woman she was.

We buried Mum in a beautiful woodland burial ground a couple of days ago, the rain stopped and the sun came out for her ceremony. She is still here but now free.

I’m sending you all my love wherever you are on your journey. I have got so much support from this group - thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support and stories.

Lots of love, Helen

I am so happy that you have been able to look back to the happy years, and that the burial ground is so perfect. I am exactly the same since the loss of my husband earlier this year. His smiling photographs are around the house and I too know that he is free now. My thoughts are with you. ❤️
