The last couple of days have been extremely painful for me, but for my mum its a happy release. Yesterday I rang my mum at her nursing home in Hove, Sussex which I have been doing regularly since she went in two years ago, and when she eventually answered the phone yesterday, she sounded in a great deal of pain, which wasnt unusual but this time it sounded even more so. When I got her to tell me what had happened, it seems that she fallen during the night and it had been difficult to get her back into bed again, as she was in so much pain.
Anyway the long and short of it is, that they had to take her into hospital last night to discover why shed become so pale, and it seems that in the fall shed caused a vein to burst and shed been bleeding internally. They did manage to stabilise her last night but we were warned that it would only be a matter of hours before it would start again and this time it would be fatal. And this was proved to be right, as at 4.40am this morning she lost her fight and passed away peacefully, and at long last shes pain free.
So if I dont manage to visit your blogs in the next few days please forgive me, I will be back once I feel I can cope with it. Thank you for the lovely comments on my card yesterday, I very much appreciate that. With all my love and huge hugs Shirleyxxxxxx

Hi Shirley
I was so sad and sorry to read your post.
This must be an awful time for you - but at the same time a relief.
Believe me I know there is nothing worse than seeing someone you love suffering.
It is hard to watch your parents grow old but to see them in pain is even worse. Your Mum is now at rest and free from pain and you should take comfort from this.
Try to remember the good times you shared with your Mum. She will live on in your heart for always.
My best wishes to your and your family.
Love Jules xx

Hi Shirley
I just popped in as I saw your candy linked from another blog, but then I read down and saw this post and just had to pass on my condolences to you and your family. Mums are very special, I now live over 3700 miles away from mine (I moved to the US)but she's still there for me and always on the end of the phone. I wish I could spend more time with her. Please take care of yourself.
