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.

Such sad news Grannylicious - I only realisedlast week I hadn’t seen her posting for a while when she let us know she was in hospital. Hope her hospice spot is on its way 🥰

I'm sorry to see this news. My very best wishes to Auntieflo and to you and your family Grannylicious. Hopefully, she will soon be more comfortable in a hospice.

I am so sorry to hear your sad news Grannylicious.

Your mum was very welcoming when I first started posting on gransnet.A kind and gentle lady.

I pray that a bed can be found soon at the hospice and will keep your mum and your family in my thoughts and prayers.x

This is such sad news. I still have the many PM’s between dear Auntieflo and myself. She was so supportive during some difficult times I was going through.

My heart goes out to you all and I will also pray for a Hospice place to become available and that Auntieflo can be kept as comfortable and peaceful as possible.

Thank you for your friendship, lovely lady. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.🌹

Thank you Grannylicious for letting us know, a gentle soul your Mum, what very sad news.
I’ll keep thinking of her and hoping for a hospice place to keep her comfortable, my best wishes to you and her wider family.

I’m so sorry to hear the sad news, Grannylicious. I so hope that a bed will be offered to Auntieflo very soon. Best wishes to Auntieflo and you.

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.

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. 😘.

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.

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. 💐

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.💐

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.
