Mums in Hospice

Mums in Hospice For those of you following my posts re Mum, thought you’d want to know that she is now in a Hospice (which is a lovely place) this is where she wants to be to die.

I’m numb, can’t believe that soon my Mum won’t be here anymore can’t imagine what life will be like.

Feeling really angry at the moment that life can be so cruel, guess this is just one of the long line of emotions to expect.

Worried for Dad, he looks so lost already.

Want this to end soon for Mum, she said she’s ready to go and has asked our permission!

Guess that next my next post will be “the one” I’v e been dreading since Oct 2005.

Sorry to be morbid, this seems to be the only place I can let my feelings go

So very sorry Dear Lou,

I was so sad to read your news. I don’t know what to say except that my heart goes out to you, your Mum and Dad. You are obviously such a caring daughter and your Mum knows this. It is a very cruel disease. I am thinking of you Lou.

Thinking of you Hi Lou,

just to let you know I am thinking of you at this terribly hard time. My dad died of cancer when I was 16 and sadly it all happened so quick that he passed away in the horrid local hospital rather than the lovely hospice. Luckily, when my aunt died of bc a few years ago she was in the hospice and they were awesome. I now find myself battling this awful disease.

I hope your mum finds peace and comfort and that she will soon be free from pain. I found that this time with my dad was the most difficult. He was drifting in and out of consciousness and I knew he just wanted to slip away.

Although I don’t know you or your lovely mum I find I am crying as I write this. I really feel for you, and although it is awful as you know the end is near, I hope your mum is peaceful and pain free,

Thinking of you and your family at this very sad time,

Take care,

Kelly

So sorry Deat Lou

Just to say I’m thinking of you at this sad time.

Remember that they reckon hearing is the last of the senses to go before we die. So talk to your mum, tell her how much you love her, tell her you will remember her always, that you let her go with enormous sadness and privilege.

very best wishes

Jane

I am thinking of you Lou,

I have been thinking about you and will continue to do so and pray for both you and your mum that she is not in too much pain.

My Grandad passed away in a hospice in January and the staff and place was wonderful.
We continued to talk to him right up until the end as the staff told us he could probably still hear us.

Love to you all at this difficult time.

Dear Lou I am so very sorry to hear about your mum…my friend spent her last few weeks in a hospice before losing her battle with this disease in february…the staff were marvellous and the hospice very peaceful…but nothing can take away the pain you are and will feel…my friend left behind 2 daughters aged 17 and 14…as has been said talk to your mum and tell her all the things you want her to hear.
We are all here for you.

love

so sorry Dear Lou,
What you are going through is really terrible. I lost my father when I was sixteen, I lost my mum to cancer 4 years ago, and one year later I was diagnosed with this awful disease. I was the only person to take care of her, and she was my best friend and a very lively and interesting person, my world is a bit empty without her. The next period will be the most difficult of your life, but I can assure you that life is stronger that this and you will find a hidden energy to go on. And I am sure you will feel the presence of your mum, in many different ways, also in the future.
I hope our messages will be of some help, please let us know how you are.

We have never met. but I did have the pleasure of meeting your Mum at the Breast Cancer Course in Bolton last July. I am so sorry and my thoughts are with you and your Dad. Keep strong to-morrow. sorry I can not be with you but I know Val will know my reasons why.

I am doing a 12 mile walk in August for Breast Cancer and would like your permission to walk with your Mum’s name on my back so please reply if you see this posting.

So as your Mum would say CHIN UP! and Colin keep on fishing!

Sending you Cyber Hugs for tomorrow
Love Janet.
