Hi Julie So lovely to see you posting again Julie; I have missed you  Only just catching up after 10 days of concussion, another story, but it made reading posts and typing replies nigh on impossible! I am so sorry to hear about your Mum, Julie, but glad to hear that she is receiving such good care. I used to do some counselling sessions at our local hospice and the compassion and care shown by the staff never ceased to amaze me. I got to know some of them well and they truly are very special people. Try to enjoy the memories of happy times you have shared with your Mum and make the most of your remaining time together. It is a very difficult time for you all and my thoughts are with you. Take care Julie, Lyn xx

Hello all, hope you are as well as can be. Thanks for thinking of me. I haven't had chance to read up on everyone's news yet.
Mum passed away on 6 October. One day before her Golden wedding anniversary. The doctor and nurses could't believe how she managed to hang in there. I am sure at some point I will feel that her death was a release from her suffering but I can't feel like that at the moment as I know how desperate she was to stay with us. Dad coped well with the funeral arrangements and everything with help from me and my sister but he is wandering round like a lost soul now that it's over. He had devoted the last 10 years to looking after mum for various reasons so he has a considerable 'hole' to fill in his life now. Me, my sister and brother are trying to keep him occupied for most of the time at the moment (and Jimmy is distracting him quite a bit).
Julian and I had booked a holiday to Sharm el Sheik before mum became seriously ill. I was going to cancel but dad told me not to as it was only for a week and he said that mum would have wanted me to spend some time with Julian and Jim. It was ok and it was good to have time together after not seeing them much for a couple of months. It was relaxing but tinged with sadness and worry for my dad. It was a good family time together though and we have been back a couple of days.
I'm hoping we can all find our way to some sort of normaility now and try to move forward. I'm looking forward to catching up with what you have all been up to when I get a bit more time (back to work tomorrow - yeuch), Lyn's concussion sounds interesing though (is that another term for her being on a bender again - lol).
Love
Julie

So sorry to hear about your mum Julie. You have had a long and difficult time and it will take you some time to begin to deal with all the emotions. Glad that you managed to get away on your holiday and spend some time together. Sending you much love xx Ailsa

Oh Julie, I'm so sorry to hear about your Mum.
50 years, no wonder your Dad is like a lost soul, at least it sounds like he has great family support.
As Julie said, it will take you a long time to come to terms with this but I hope your holiday helped, it must have been good to be able to spend time with Julian and Jim.
Thinking of you and your family, especially your Dad.
Love and hugs,Doreen xx

Dear Julie
I am so sorry to hear about your mum. I know how difficult it will be for you and it doesn't make it any easier to know in advance that the end is approaching. I was in a similar position with my mum and you feel like a little girl again. I can only tell you that in time it does get easier to bear and that the thoughts and prayers of family and friends will be a real comfort to you. Thinking of you and praying for you.
Love Sheila x

Dear Julie,
I am so deeply sorry to hear your sorrowful news.
There really are no words but you are in my prayers at this time.
I am also so very sorry about my e-mail I sent to you earlier- you will understand when you read it, I hope.
So much love,
Amanda

Oh Julie - I am so sad to hear this. As Amanda says, there are just no words to comfort you - just cyber hugs and prayers.
Don't worry too much about moving on just yet. You really do need space and time to grieve.
Much love
Jean xxxxxx

Hi Julie
So sorry to hear about your mum, it is so hard to let go of those we love even when you know that their suffering is over. You sound like a very close family and I am sure that you will be a support and comfort to one another in the coming weeks.
With sympathy
Sue

Hi Julie So sorry to hear about the loss of your dear Mum. Pleased you have been able to spend time with Julian and Jimmy and I am sure the break will have given you a much needed change of scene. Hope your Dad is okay, although it must be so very difficult for him just now. I was in your home town a few weeks ago, university visiting! Thought about you and kept my eyes open (just in case you'd scaled the heights of the Hallam building and needed rescuing! ). Hope the return to work wasn't too traumatic. Take care, Lyn xx
