Sorry to hear that mate, thoughts with you and your family.
Sorry to hear that Lob. Sounds like you had a great relationship. I know it’s raw but it sounds like she had a very peaceful passing and had her full mental health and awareness up to the end. There is a lot to be said for that. My mum is currently in a home with dementia and bless her she doesn’t have an idea what is going on. Also, don’t worry about not getting to the hospital in time to say goodbye. The years you spent living with her and keeping her company is far more important and valuable to her than that. Keep your sunny side up chief and celebrate her life. She would not want you to be too sadI 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.![]()

Sorry to hear this sad news, fella. My beautiful Mam passed away last August and it's still strange for me not to be going around with my dog ('the wee monster') to see her each morning.I am sure a lot of you know that my mum has been in hospital for the past 3 weeks.
