Mum had rallied at lunch time we with her I was feeding her,by evening visiting she had lapsed into a coma,we sat all night with her knowing the end was near,all night nurses checked on mum and us,but the one person mum wanted there without a shadow of a doubt was my brother, who was at work and to far away to get home,he arrived at the end of his journey,we had to get home to see to my granddaughter,mum knew he was there she was in a deep coma,she moved her head to the sound of his voice and contentedly and peacefully left us.

My mother died the day before we went on holiday. She had been diagnosed with cancer after we'd booked. It was as if she wanted us to go.

Yes, my darling! He'd sorted out his office, sent things over to the accountants, our daughter arrived on the Wednesday from Alderney ci.
I stayed the night on the thurs, went to have a quick shower, just got back in the room and dressed, he looked at me, and died!
All very peaceful and I was there!

My very closest friend arrived at her fathers bedside today just minutes before he died. She arrived there after a long journey and having been told on Saturday that his death was imminent.

When my husband died - he had been operated on for a cancer and complications - my sons believe it was after he had realised that I would be fine left in their hands. They had been busy chopping wood and clearing the cellar and generally getting things straight.

Am just left wondering.
