My mum was my best friend.
My mum and Dad seperated when I was little and my mum was my main carer, she did all that she could to provide for me, mostly ensurig that I had all the love possible. My dad died in May 2001 of cancer and my mum was my rock.
We did everything together and when I started to suffer with health anxiety she was always there for me.
When I gave birth to my little girl my mum was there along with my partner. She loved her grandaughter to bits, couldn't go a day without seeing her, well us both. When I returned to work part time it was only natural that mum would look after my daughter and she loved it.
My mum suddenly became really ill with really bad headaches and being sick, just very poorly. She was terrified of hospitals so I rang the dr who did a house call. At the visit the dr told my mum that she had a virus. She continued to feel very poorly and went back to dr's and asked could i possibly have a bleed on the brain she was told that she had a 'vivid imagination'.
Two weeks after first becoming ill mum was cycling to my house when she collapsed, she was picked up by a first responder but would not go to hospital until she had seen me. They thought that she had had a TIA and took her to hospital I followed on with my daughter who at the time was 15 months old. I did not rush as I thought that she was fine. When I arrived at the hospital the drs and nurses were all chasing round. Unfortunetly because my mum had collapsed again this time paralysed down one side. Then while I was ringing relatives she stopped breathing and had to be intubated. She never woke again. After being told that she was brain dead I had to make the decision to turn off the life surpport machine. She was just 47 years old.
I miss my mum more than words can say and life is very lonely without her.

Her Journey's Just Begun

Don't think of her as gone away,
Her journey's just begun.
Life holds so many facets,
This earth is only one.
Just think of her as resting
from the sorrows and the tears,
In a place of warmth and comfort
Where there are no days and years.
Think how she must be wishing
That we could know today,
How nothing but our sadness
Can really pass away.
And think of her as living
In the hearts of those she touched,
For nothing loved is ever lost
And she was loved so much.
