How sad for you MissAdventure. No matter how old we may be, the loss of a parent is so hard. Five weeks is a long time and hopefully you were able to say goodbye. At least she's out of her pain now flowers

Luckygirl, I've some lovely memories of my mum, but life has been difficult in the last years.
Its expected, but so unexpected!

Thank you, Jane.
I'm grateful to have somewhere to have been able to just tell some people: I don't "do" Facebook or anything.

She had been in hospital for over 5 weeks, battling infection after infection as best her frail old body could fight.
