My Mum Forums

I just wanted to tell you the bad news, My Mum who suffered from alzheimers, sadly passed away at 11pm last night, she had been a bit unwell all day and when I called in to see her she was fast asleep, bless her, I didn't disturb her, but later recieved a phone call to say she had died, it was unexpected and we now have to wait for the Coroner to let us know why she died. We spent most of the night sitting with her, wondering why. When I saw her Tuesday afternoon she was fine, in fact better than I had seen her for a while, she held her arms out to my Grandaughter and hugged her then sat her on her knee, she seemed fine then, I only wished I could have been with her when she died, although the staff at the home were brilliant making sure she was okay and looking after her, its just not the same I feel a bit better now after writing this, and may not be on the forum as much whilst I come to terms with losing Mum. Thanks for listeningto me

Our sincere condolences, Anne. It's such a shock when it happens like that. I hope the grief will soon pass, and you will be left with the nice memories, like I have of my mum.

Thinking of you at this difficult time.

Gerald and Annie.

- Oh, Anne, I am so sorry you've lost her. There's nothing anyone can ever say to make it any less difficult. I was just thinking about you last night , as you've been so helpful to me. As you mentioned, it feels a bit better talking about it. I'm always happy for you to send me messages about anything at all. Much of my working life was spent caring for sufferers of this dreadful illness, and our best friend's wife has sadly just been diagnosed. - With kind wishes, - Helena.

That is so sad. I am very sorry for you and think I know how you must be feeling. I never really know what to say at times like this so I think its time to look through happy photos of yesteryear and celebrate your Mothers life.

I am so sorry. loosing your mum no matter what your age or gender is somehow extra difficult and a huge loss.
Am so happy for you though you had a good afternoon with her on Tuesday, do not feel guilty or sad that you where not with her when she finally gave in, I doubt she was very aware of things around her at that time.
You have looked after and cared for her when she needed it the most and that is what you have to remember and be proud of

Anne, I only know you through your posts but please know that my thoughts are with you at this time. It's hard when a loved one slips away when you are not there but sometimes this is how it needs to be for them.

Sincere sympathies.

Catherine and Greg.
