I am sure a lot of you know that my mum has been in hospital for the past 3 weeks. I have been there by her side for many hours every single day in hospital and she had been up and down and we were hopeful she might recover but she regressed quite a bit the last few days and yesterday morning i got the dreaded come to the hospital quickly phone call and she passed away about 5 minutes after the call i.e before i got there. She passed peacefully and without too much suffering thanks to the amazing hospital staff and she looked beautiful at the end. It ended up having nothing to do with the flu. That was cleared 2 weeks ago. It was her damned copd. She had been struggling with it for a long time and was in end stage and so it was going to happen regardless of the flu or other infections. I just wish it hadn't happened now as i wasn't ready.
So forgive me if i have been short with anyone over the last few weeks or the near future as it has been a really terrible time and i am now in very deep grief as she has been living with me for a long time and our lives were deeply entwined. She was my whole world.
Love you loads Mum and thanks to everyone for your understanding and thoughts in various threads over the last few weeks.
