I just wanted to write a post on here as I sadly lost my mum last week after a 7 year battle with PSP. Although it was pneumonia that took her in the end. I just wanted to write on here to say, give your loved ones suffering an extra big hug this Christmas and remember to be their loved one and not just their carer, because everything can change in an instant. We were of course always preparing for the inevitable, but how quickly pneumonia took its hold was such a shock. A matter of hours from her being okay to being unconscious, she fought so hard to stay with us but 4 days later she took her last breath. We thought she had a while left as yet so it’s been really hard to get my head around and I don’t think it’s really sunk in yet. At least she is no longer suffering from this awful disease and I hope she will always be with me, guiding me in life ❤️

So sorry to hear of your loss. Hope the family has plenty of opportunity to get together and cherish happy memories of you wonderful mum. Sending warm and positive thoughts your way with a virtual hug. 🫂🌻
