Thank you all. Your words are lovely. I have had my Dad here today along with my daughter and son in law and I’ve cooked a Sunday roast just like I would have normally. They all protested when I suggested it but it gave me something to focus on and it kept my Dad close. We’ve cried on each other and chatted. Both myself and my dad are struggling to get that final image of her out of our minds. I took on the task of removing her jewellery before she went for post-mortem. It haunted me last night. I am trying so desperately to block that out and see happy memories but at the moment I am finding it difficult. I also feel anger because she was taken away way too soon. I know these feelings will get easier in time, but boy right now it feels like a piece of my heart is missing! 💔 All that you are feeling is normal. At times it will seem surreal too. Lots of different emotions will hit you, some when you least expect it. It’s all very hard and sudden. I’m glad you have your family around and can support each other. Do you know when you will get the PM results?

No ffiscool, it’s like everything’s in limbo because without a death certificate you can’t sort anything out. I also am really curious as to what she died from. She took medication for artierial fibrillation but it was very well controlled. She hadn’t had any flair up for years. She had her medication checked every month. But it did put her at risk of stroke.

It must feel so unreal. Your mum looks so lovely in the photos. She looks really kind and happy. I've been thinking about you all day and about how hard this is for you and your family. How is your dad coping?

I am so sorry, Helen; my condolences to you and your family. Your Mum looks like the sort of person I would have liked to get to know, if that doesn't sound too strange. Kind and caring is what I see looking at her photos.
I hope the PM gives you some answers. Take care of yourself and your Dad. xx

Helen, i'm so so sorry, how awful for you all, so sudden like that too, it's such a shock. I know what you mean, my mum and i have been best friends and there has rarely been a day that i haven't seen her, apart from holidays. She is 90 now but i dread the day i will lose her, it will be like losing apart of me. Your lovely mum looked so full of life, it must be hard to comprehend . Our thought's and sincere condolences are with you all from Budshire, sending hugs too x

So sorry for your loss helenmat. I can't read it all at the moment, I have tears in my eyes. Such a shock for you all, but no better way for your Mum to pass, no pain, no stress, I know that is no consolation. My love and thoughts are with you and your family. The pictures you posted show what a lovely lady she was.

I love the pictures!!! I particularly like the see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil one. Isn't it great that she could do that just having fun and not caring if it was silly. We all need to be silly once in awhile. Your family sounds amazing, all there for one another. Your dad also sounds like a very loving man. Take time to share your best memories with each other. Hope you get some rest tonight.
