Mum's fallen. Just need some words of comfort.

💐 so sorry. She was so lucky to have you there for her, that’s for sure 💐

I'm so glad you have had a good long sleep, Jellybaby. It's a fair bet that your mum could have a UTI as that's quite a common cause of confusion and could easily be interpreted as dementia. Might also have caused the fall too. I've had such a record of falls that my family are on tenterhooks! Only two falls have been responsible for ambulance trips, so fingers crossed I continue to obey my sons' decree: 'Mum, watch where you put your feet!'

Thank you Primrose53.
I know that I’m fortunate to have had my mum till I’m 65.
I’m grateful she had a long and relatively healthy life ( until the last few weeks)
I feel fairly ok today just a bit numb.
This is such a kind site.

My Mum would have been 99 today Jellybaby so I went to her grave and took her a lovely planter full of her favourite coloured flowers. I sat on my parents memorial bench in the sunshine and thought about you actually. ❤️

My sincere condolences to you Jellybelly.

You were blessed to have her as your mum and she was blessed to have you as a daughter..💐💐💐

Jellybaby I'm so sorry for the loss of your dear mum.

So sorry to hear this sad news

So sorry Jellybaby.
Our thoughts are with you and your family at this sad time.
💐

I've just seen your message....I'm so sorry for your sad loss.My Love& thoughts are with you xxx

Sending Love & caring thoughts to you both xxx

I've just found this post and am very upset by it and send my condolences. Being left on the floor for hours with potential broken bones in agony, being half dressed and left. It makes one shudder to think how many very old people suffer who do not have loving family members watching over them.

Similar things happened to my mum. It is happening to my daughter's mother in law now. All so familiar, the falls, the delerium, the UTI 's the denial of food. You did the right thing for her you were able to be there all the way. That is all we can do, and hope for.

And I wish all older people were treated by the services with more respect more dignity less as 'lingerers' as I've seen them called and 'bed blockers' as if they were something vexing the system instead of being the rightful focus. Death will come to us all, the NHS no longer cares for us 'to the grave' as it once promised. We are then at the mercy of cash-strapped councils and the private sector. (Both my mother's care and my daughter's MIL cost nearly a thousand pound a week.) Geriatric care is no longer provided by the State. Attitudes must change there is a taboo about the realities of death and dying. Even the word is not used now.

I'm sorry if that was painful for you to read at this time Jellybaby71011. Your mother was a star. And so are you and your husband.

So sorry for your loss of your dear mum, *Jellybaby.
I send you my sincere condolences.

Thank you everyone. Your words mean a lot to me.
Just waiting now for the bereavement officer to phone from the hospital.

Your Mum is at peace, I'm sorry for your loss.

I echo Ixion's post.
Sincere condolences to you and your family Jellybaby.

Condolences to you Jellybaby. I hope that, in time, you will be able to forget the last few sad weeks and remember the good times with your Mum. Clearly, she was loved and loving - no better epitaph.

I was so saddened to read your update, having shared with you a journey which is so familiar - and painful - to so many of us here.
Please take some comfort in the fact that you have done your very best for a lady who seems the loveliest of Mums.
🥀

So very sorry to hear about your Mum Jellybaby sounds like she was a lovely lady. Find comfort in the fact that you did everything you could for her and you clearly loved each other a lot. God bless you all.

So sorry to read your news Jellybaby

So sorry to hear this Jellybaby I send sincere condolences.

If ever there was a need to read the thread, or at least JellyB’s additional post yesterday, this is it!

I am so very so that you have lost your lovely Mum. We all know that this is inevitable but that doesn’t’t make it any easier. I wish you peace of mind and time to recover.
