Betty, I hope your difficult day went as well as you could expect. So sad to bid farewell to your much loved Mum. Life is incredibly tough at times like these.

Just seen all that's been going on for you over the past weeks Betty, so sorry for your loss, your mum's been a brave one and a feisty one at that. So glad you were all able to be with her at the end, and hope that today has been tears of sorrow at her passing, but also tears of joy at remembered moments and a celebration of the life she shared with you all. Sending hugs and condolences to you x

I'm also just catching up on this, Betty. So sorry for your loss. No more pain or confusion for your lovely Mum but what a gap they leave when they go. Xx

2 years ago today, I lost the biggest character in my life, my beautiful Mum. Life's not the same and never will be again, but she used to give me regular little pep talks about how she never thought she'd live to such an old age (this was when she was 92 and pre-dementia) and therefore when she did depart this life, I wasn't to waste ONE MINUTE crying and grieving for her - yes, she was that adamant about it, hence the caps. Ok, well I can't claim that I didn't cry and I don't actually know if it was grieving or just shell-shocked after 4 years of cruel, merciless dementia, having lived through every moment of it with her. I still have what I call my 'flat days' - not too often but when they happen, nothing lifts me out of it, so I just keep my head down and get on with work. I miss you darling, you were an absolute cracker of a woman who, by good fortune, just happened to be my Mum.
