Our much loved mother of four, grandmother to four and great grandmother to eight died yesterday, Thursday morning. I become teary at times through the day but so far I haven't cracked completely. A visit by the Scottish doctor probably ensured that last night after a very emotional day I perhaps did end up sobbing. It is part of my grieving process and I do have form for the same.
So, a bit busy. Catch you all soon.

ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss Andrew. Although expected it is still a shock. It will take time to process what has happened and no doubt you will be tearful when you least expect it. Look after yourself.

ReplyDeleteYou have known about your mum's condition for ages, at least sharing with your blogging friends. This was a very important part of the preparatory process, and although it doesn't make death any easier, it does make the mourning task more tolerable.
ReplyDeleteI wish you and R good health and peace.
Sorry to read the sad news Andrew. May your dear Mother RIP.

ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for your loss. It doesn't matter how old or how sick someone was, it still hurts so much.
ReplyDeleteSo terribly sorry Andrew, an enormous loss. When my father died (my mother had predeceased him at a much younger age) I was comforted by the old Irish phrase used when the last parent dies "The roof is now off your life." No truer words, so many layers to it. But a huge freedom too from the worry and anxiety.
ReplyDeleteBig hug.

Andrew I am so sorry for you, now we are more or less sitting in the same boat with our grief. It doesn't matter which beloved person it was love has no limits. You will always miss her at your family meetings, and sometimes maybe ask for an advice, not realizing that she is not there anymore. Last year I felt much better than this year, I even started to talk to him. Let your tears out, everybody has another manner to grief. I couldn't cry, I was like dried out. And now from time to time when I think of something, I feel a knot in my throat and let it go. You are in some way lucky, you loved your mother dearly. My parents when they died I didn't miss them it was just the opposite, I was relieved and had to play the grieving daughter awful ! Fortunately I had Rick who didn't like my parents and they didn't like him neither, so the problem was solved, we could be honest to each other and nag about them !
