Rest in peace, Mum.

Sorry to hear this news, take care x

Thanks for all your thoughts.

We're very grateful that Mum (and Dad) have lived good, long lives. It must be so hard when your parents died young.

They've needed an increasing amount of care in recent years but they're both such lovely people that we've been happy to do it.

Things will change a lot now because I won't be able to leave Dad on his own in the same way that I could when they were together. I knew if one was taken ill or had a fall that the other would contact me or the neighbours and help would arrive and that they were company for each other in the evenings. I don't want Dad to be sitting alone all evening - that will be so sad for him.

I'm sorry to hear your sad news.

Your poor Dad must be distraught.
We lost our Dad last year and know how hard it was (and still is to a certain extent) for Mum.

I've read a lot of your posts (we seem to post on the same boards) and think you give really great advice.
If there's anything at all we can help you with, please don't hesitate to ask.

Thinking of you.

To go so suddenly is a blessing for the person concerned, but such a shock for all left behind. It will be hard for you all in the days ahead - and I'll be thinking of you xxx

as will I - as Thorsoak said - easier for your Mum but so much harder for those left behind.

My deepest sympathies

I haven't lost any close relations, though over the past two years iv watched my boyfriend loose his mother to cancer just before university. His grandma recently lost her husband, for her thats a daughter and two husbands that have passed away- my mind boggles as to how she copes, nevermind functions.

*hugs* to everyone that has lost someone close before their time

I'm so sorry for your loss.

My beloved Dad passed away nearly 7 years ago, on my birthday of all days. Even to this day I have a cry over his passing, only yesterday did I have a moment. Just the realisation of all things he has missed or will be missing.

It is definitely harder for those left behind, be there for your Dad but remember you have also lost your Mum and will also need to grieve.

I'm so sorry for your loss Mojisola and feel for you and your Dad and family for the emotional rollercoaster of the days and months to come.
You'll all have the "good days" and "bad days", and hopefully at different times so that you can all help each other through.

It will be so raw for you for a while and I know it's a cliche but the happy memories will carry you through.

You're right, the thought of the bereaved parent sitting alone in the evenings will be heart-wrenching to think about and your lovey Dad will need you more now. He's lucky to have a loving Daughter so you'll be a huge source of comfort to him.

Look after yourself and let yourself grieve fully.

My deepest condolences, take care xx
