l have met with several Oncology Doctors who are caring for my Mother.
They have been wonderfully informative and very supportive
given the news they had to share. Our main aim is to make life comfortable
for Mum's remaining time here with us, and we hope to move
her to a palliative care centre later this week or early next week.
l thank you all for your words of support. They mean so much.
Post Script, added on Saturday 11th June.
Last Wednesday we had the funeral for DH's brother. Michael's funeral was difficult, and also a celebration of his life. You see, Michael lived a life different to most. He was born with Down Syndrome, and was and always will be an angel in our eyes. He will be deeply missed.
The day was even more difficult, as l had received a call that morning before the funeral, from Mum's Oncology Doctor. Sadly Mum passed away that afternoon, after a short, but brave battle, surrounded by family. l find myself arranging another funeral, much to my disbelief.
l am bereft.

ReplyDeleteLinda, today is the first time I have visited your blogg. I am deeply moved and appreciate that you were able to share your life events with everyone. I understand your Grieving but time really does heal. Both my mother-in-law and Father-in-law died of Cancer about 10 years ago. My father died unexpectedly in 2007. Their sweet memory is still fresh on my mind.
ReplyDeleteOh Linda, I am so sorry. I was reading away and didn't expect that news so soon. My prayers are with you and your family.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about your BIL's death too. So much at once...
So sorry to hear about your Mum. Love, prayers and big hugs. Take care.
