thankyou

Today I have to go to the chapel of rest. I am not looking forward to it.
Mrs Rollo is coming with me, she and mother got on really well.
Mum was not in decline she had good eyesight, full mental faculties and was mobile
. She was full of fun not just past memories.
She loved nature, historical novels, art, oh cooking, politics. Active member of local party. She has five great grand children who all loved her.

Rollo, I am so very sorry,much more than I can express. Try, in time to come, to remember all those things that your mother loved to do and the things that made her laugh.

My sincere sympathy to you and all your family.

My mum left a note in her diary of all her "blessings", and a copy of this poem which I sent out to her friends, it will be of absolutely no consolation now but you may remember it further down the line.

"Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad."
C Rossetti.

Rollo.

I think it may be a help and comfort if you concentrate on the knowledge that you did all that you could for your Mum - and more importantly she knew that too.

Many of us are aware how difficult it is to strike a balance between getting the best for our loved ones, or risking the ire of senior Medics.

I respect you for all the help you have given to people on Genes. therefore may I offer my

Sincere Condolences to yourself and family,

I am so sorry to hear this. My condolences to you and your family. Cherish your memories and take comfort in knowing that you did all that you could. Your mother will have passed away knowing how very much she was loved.

I'm so sorry to see your news Rollo. Your mother sounded quite a character with zest for life and enjoyment of it, which makes her treatment or lack of it, despite your best efforts, all the more frustrating and distressing.
