My mum has passed away

[Sunnydrinking]

Sad news ...

My lovely mum passed away during the early hours of this morning, very peacefully with pneumonia. Mum was 91 and has enjoyed a good life. Mum also suffered from dementia, I never told her about my MBC.

She was the best mum I could ever wish for.... “sleep tight darling mum 💔”

Dearest Jo,

So very sorry for your loss! 😥 I lost my mom in August on her 96th birthday. Like you, I never shared my diagnosis with her. We were so close and she would have been devastated. You are in my heart and prayers. It takes a long time to adjust to the absence. I still have episodes of mourning. God bless you and bring peace to your days! ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻

[mariootsi in reply to SeattleMom]

So sorry for your loss. It's so hard!

So sorry to hear about your loss Jo and I understand why you chose not to reveal your situation to her. Please take comfort that she had a peaceful passing and reinforce the fact that life is worth celebrating whatever cards we are dealt. I have MBC too and was out with my sister and mum the day before last. We were having such fun, laughing until my ribs ached. I felt a fleeting wave of sadness hat my family will lose me. I feel privileged that I can make special memories and choose who I want to spend my precious life with and remember that despite my diagnoses I have time to do that. Many people don't get that opportunity because some event takes them in an instant. You sound a wonderfully brave soul and it must have been heartbreaking not to be able to talk your mum. You made the right decision, due to her confused state. I know it won't feel like it now, but my sister and I found great peace working as a team when my dad passed in St Richard's hospice, making the funeral arrangements together, sharing and laughing the good memories whilst digging out all the photos. All the best in your journey. Your mum had a great life, so celebrate her life and your own moving forward..

[Sunnydrinking in reply to sharronwiles]

Thank you so much to you and everyone for their kind words. Mum left 4 children and 2 grandchildren - we are all getting involved and sharing all the arranging. Yes, old pics etc are making us smile ....

On reflection mum’s passing is a blessing, it was time for her to go and it was very peaceful.

Mum will always have a place in my heart and I will make sure her memory plays a part in me living the best life possible with MBC.

Thanks everyone

Very sad times Jo. Fall in to the sadness and hold her tight to you. We are lucky to have people we love in our lives. And grief will not be linear. It will creep up at inopportune moments. I feel for you.

Losing a mother is always heartbreaking, even if they had a full life and died peacefully. I am so sorry and hope that the memories of what sound like many happy years together comfort you now. I am amazed by the selflessness of many of you ladies who kept a devastating diagnosis from your mothers. Much peace.

[Partia]

My condolences.
