Sadly, Mum is no longer here but at rest and free from the vile PSP. In the end, death was very peaceful and not a lingering one and for that I am extremely grateful.
I've been looking at old photos and it's been good to remember who she was pre-PSP. These last few years of anticipatory grief have built up and suddenly hit me.
As I'm preparing the funeral, which won't be local for me, some family and friends who are have kindly offered help. I don't know what to ask for and wondered if some of you who'd been through this either had someone do something that really helped and/or thought afterwards of something, however little.

So sorry to hear your news. My mum had moved into a nursing home near me but all her friends were back in her home town. So we did a very small immediate family funeral here and then some months later did a much larger memorial service where she lived that we invited all her friends to. That worked really well for me as it gave me time to organise the big event at a distance and made it much easier getting through it all. Friends helped with organising the memorial service and family all chipped in to bring food for the reception afterwards.
I'm so sorry for your loss, sending you hugs xxMy Dad had moved near to us and we had a church service near us but also a service at the crematorium in his home town. For that, I asked a local friend to find a venue for the post service refreshments, so they sorted all that part out which really helped me. I had no idea of which places were nice etc so having someone who could do that and knew that it was accessible and there was parking made things easier.
Sorry for you loss of your mum. I lost my husband in may. We had a very private funeral with our children and grandchildren, my sister and 2 friends. 15 in all. That was my husbands wishes and mine. The minster said it was one of the most emotional services he done. Do what your mum and yourself would want. 💜
