My beautiful, courageous mum was diagnosed March 8, 2007 with sporadic limb onset ALS and passed away March 3, 2008 at the age of 59. Although short in time.. she battled a faster than usual form of ALS with zero plateaus.
We are shattered at the moment. She was the light of our lives and her strength amazed us. She was a very special, beautiful woman who took such pride in her family. Loved by everyone.
She choose not to have any intervention and was a DNR. She had a tough few weeks as she went through the end stage of this disease. It will take me a year to process the past year and another year to come to terms with the past few weeks. On a positive note, she donated her brain and spinal fluid to the ALS clinic at Sunnybrook.
