At 7am this morning my lovely mum finally left us. She clung on to life with every bit of her failing strength until even she realised it was time to let go. The last two weeks have been very hard but she is now at peace and I am grateful that her suffering is at an end.

God Bless, Mum xx

Condolences Merlot. I lost my lovely mother in Feb. last year after a long struggle with COPD. I still miss mum but can now smile at all the lovely memories of the times we spent together.

It sounds as if you had a warm, loving relationship relationship and will have many happy memories which should help. I hope you find comfort during this sad time.

I am so sorry merlot. I lost my mother in a similar way a few weeks ago but console myself with the thought that she was ready to go and it was what she wanted. You did everything you could when she was alive so just remember the good times now she is no longer with you. My very best wishes to you.

I have just caught up with the postings and am so sorry for your loss merlot. Even though you were prepared for it the finality is still a shock. Sending flowers for you and positive vibes to get through the next few difficult days.

So sad Merlot I have been off GN for the last couple of weeks as lots of people visited us so I have not followed your thread but I remember you said she had given up and was refusing food. She has got what she wanted and you must be happy that she is at rest. flowers

Condolences from me too Merlot.
You and your Mum obviously had a lovely relationship, nothing can replace it. But hopefully you'll adjust.
This reminds me of the last years of my Mum's life, when luckily I was living nearby - we hadn't been very close before this, but got closer during those last years.

Merlot Sorry to hear this. Think about all the good times.

When my mum died I made sure the the address I wrote for the Minister to read, (I could not not have done it), I told all the good and funny things about my Mother and not the difficulties she had in her last few years.

It helped me and our family and her sisters to remember the good times again.
