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.
Mate, so sorry to hear this, glad to hear that she passed with as much comfort as possible.
From everything you said in the last few weeks, nothing came across but care and love for your Mum and I’m sure she felt that and I hope you take comfort in that.
COPD isn’t an easy condition to live with, nor easy to support someone with, you have all my empathy, for all she and you have been through.
Sometimes people find it tough when they aren’t there right at the end, but care and love is best and most meaningful given throughout someone’s whole life and when they need support with the condition living with it at home - not when all the professionals are around, my point being when your Mum needed you most I’m sure you were there, at the very end there can often be very little that can be done that you haven’t already given, when she needed you I’m sure you were there.
The best wishes to you and all who were close to her. In my thoughts!

Sincere condolences mate. I lost mine 2 years ago,she also suffered with COPD. Horrible illness. She will live on through you mate. In your manners that she taught you. For having respect for others,which she taught you. For saying things to teach your own children with words she taught you. And forever having a fiver in her purse to lend you on a Wednesday night. They may go but mothers never really leave us
