My mum's last lap, begun almost two weeks ago, came to an end at lunchtime today. Though she had a very rough time with the effects of infection, the last few days were very peaceful. Today she died very simply, peacefully and without pain. She opened her eyes and simply breathed out her last breath. I was lucky enough to be there holding her hand.

She has been an absolute trooper, battling als day by day, refusing to dwell on illness, preferring instead to enjoy what came her way whenever possible. I am so proud to be her daughter.
 
So sorry to hear this, Jellycat. My condolences to you and the rest of your family.
 
Avril, I am so sorry to learn of your mother's passing. She raised a trooper for a daughter and I am sure your tender loving care made it much easier for her as she battled this disease.

My prayers continue to be to give you strength and peace.

Oh Avril, I'm so so sorry Dear One. You are a wonderful loving woman and daughter. I know your Mum is now at peace. You did all you could to make her journey as comfortable as possible. Much love and many prayers coming your way.
I'm sending loving thoughts your Mum's way too.
Love,

Dear Avril I just read this. I am so very sorry, I know how much you loved your mum, and you were wonderful to her! Sending you a Giant Hug! Mum fought a hard battle with much courage.
 
Avril, I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for all you did for her, as someone who is on the receiving end of personal care I know how hard it is. Please take care of yourself.
