I lost my mum last year on the 2nd of June. Mum had been ill for 4 years with breathing difficulties. We managed to get wonderful care for her which her doctor set up, and for a time life was good again. Dad loved looking after her and towards the end never left her side. The morning she passed we were with her and we each had a chance to say goodbye. Mum was in a sorry state when she passed because she decided to stop eating - 12 weeks it took for her to go - it was all so emotional and heartbreaking.
Then the very worst thing happened 2 days after we laid mum to rest - my hero - my dad - died with only 16 days parting them. I found him on fathers day last year sitting in his chair by the window - as cold as marble. I still find it difficult to talk about and I don't know when it will get any easier. You see, I am 52 years old and my parents were in their seventies, but you know, that really doesn't make it any easier. I suppose some people would say that they had their lives and good one's really but hey! i want them back!
