Auntieflo (A message from her DD)

I am Auntieflo’s DD, and I introduced her to this site some years ago, as I enjoy Mumsnet- (under another name.)

Auntieflo wanted her friends on here (Greenfinch and others) to know that she has been quite unwell for some time and was admitted to hospital over 2 weeks ago. She has now sadly deteriorated and is for Palliative Care only.

She has been referred to the local hospice, so if any of you pray, please pray that a space can be found for her soon as it will be a much more peaceful environment for her there than the hospital.

She is currently in a 2 bed bay, and I have said I could read her any replies that she gets when I visit again tomorrow.

Thank you to anyone who has chatted and met up with her over the years.

I do remember Auntieflo (from a couple of the 'nice' threads),& that she had an illness, some time ago.
Sending my love & prayers to all the family. x

Oh Grannylicious I have just read your message and am so sad. I thought your Mum would bounce back again as she usually does. I heard from her last week and she sounded like her usual positive self. Please send her my love and let her know I am thinking of her and praying for her. Remind her of the first time she joined our meet-up in John Lewis in Reading. I obviously did not recognise her and went up to a perfect stranger and said “Are you Auntieflo?”I had to explain.As others have said she is a very kind lady and even made some masks for our family in the early days of covid. My son in law took one of his shirts round to her house and she made masks for us all that lasted and lasted. Tell her that my son still has his ( he never throws anything away !)
I do hope a hospice place comes up soon. RHB is a great place but not very peaceful.
Love you you all.

I don’t recognise the name but that might be me I don’t always read names of posters Anyway I m really sorry to hear this news and wish Auntieflo a peaceful stay in hopefully a lovely hospice as soon as possible

Grannylicious Mon 03-Mar-25 22:03:14

Thanks everyone, you are all very kind.

It’s lovely to have so many messages to read to her, although she may read some herself as she does have her iPad with her, and knows I was going to make this post.

I am sorry to hear this, a name that was very familiar.
Thinking of Auntieflo and her caring family and hoping that a place is found very soon.💐

Georgesgran Mon 03-Mar-25 22:07:02

Sorry to hear this.
Hope the Hospice place becomes available soon. 💐

Doodle Mon 03-Mar-25 22:10:46

I remember the relief of getting my darling Dh out of hospice and into the hospice. I pray that a place will be found for Auntieflo very soon.

Litterpicker Mon 03-Mar-25 22:17:36

I remember Auntieflo posting about her diagnosis and have always been glad, since then, that she was able to keep posting occasionally and letting us know how she was. I admired her openness and matter of fact attitude and her continuing interest in, and concern for other posters. I will pray for her and for her family. I hope a hospice bed becomes available for her and that her last days are peaceful with good as well as sad memories for her family. Thank you for letting us know.

Charleygirl5 Mon 03-Mar-25 22:17:57

I remember the name well. I'm so sorry that she's so unwell. Thank you for thinking of us during this very stressful time.

brook2704 Mon 03-Mar-25 22:26:35

Thank you for letting us know grannylicious and so sorry to hear about your mum being so poorly. I hope a hospice bed is available for her soon x

Kate1949 Mon 03-Mar-25 22:27:44

I am so sorry. I remember her from when I first joined GN and took an interest in her posts. Sending love.

Ali23 Mon 03-Mar-25 22:31:48

Please send my very best wishes to Auntieflo. I do hope that she moves to the hospice very soon. They are such warm and peaceful places. 💐

merlotgran Mon 03-Mar-25 22:35:26

I’m so sorry to hear this. My very best wishes to Auntieflo and her family and hope a hospice bed can soon be found for her. They are such caring places.

Grandmafrench Mon 03-Mar-25 22:45:44

I’m so very sad - we were chatting and joking only a few days ago and I’m shocked that her symptoms have clearly deteriorated since then. I won’t tell you again how loved you are, Auntieflo because I’ve already done that. But, I will tell your Daughter and I bet you know, Grannydelicious, what a warrior your Mum is. She’s always good humoured and posts concerns for others, never complaining about her lot. A Hospice place must come soon and with it some time, excellent care, kindness and peace should be such a relief after hospital life, I’m sure.

God bless you and your loved ones, Auntieflo, I think of you often. 😘.

NotSpaghetti Mon 03-Mar-25 22:51:13

Dear Grannylicious - what an emotional and difficult time for you and your dear Mum (and family). I know how wonderful a hospice is and how calm.

I pray your mum is given a room soon and that she is peaceful and pain free.
🙏 Thinking of you.
