Life learns you many things, but never prepares us for that one last thing.
What earns these feathered wings, a life of love and kind things.
Only Gods chosen few will take these wings, as these truly are special things.
I hope that your loved ones will suit them well, come down in them one day to see you all well.
God Bless you in your loss
Love always Jenx
My Mum died tonight of a brain bleed, brain stem death I believe it is called.
She was fine this morning, we were laughing and joking as I straightened her hair. She had to do a stress management presentation in a town 1 hour away this afternoon and my Dad took her.
Apparently, she was giving the presentation, suddenly went silent and then collapsed. She was rushed to the nearest hospital. I believe she was in a coma at this point.
My OH, Dad and I have been with her all evening, but there was nothing they could do. She "offically" died at 11.21, but she had to have a series of tests and then had the ventilator removed, my dad and I stayed and held her until her heart stopped.
I dont really know why I am posting, I guess it hasnt sunk in and I feel the more people I tell, the more real it will become.
She was in no pain, and the bleeding was not caused by anything other than a blood vessel. So no-one is to blame. That is some comfort.
My Dad and I got home about 2am, and have just sat up drinking brandy and talking about how fabulous my Mum was.
I am 26 yrs old and have already lost my babies, and now my Mother. Life can be so cruel but I am determined to stay strong, and be there for my Dad, who has lost his lover and best friend and wife. It was their 29th wedding anniversary last weekend.
Stay close to your loved ones, always tell them you love them, then you will have no regrets. My Mummy knew that I loved her very much, I told her all the time.
God Bless.
It's taken me since the day this was posted to reply beacuse I just did not know what to say. I hope this is ok.
Our memories build a special bridge
when loved ones have to part
to help us feel we're with them still
and sooth a grieving heart.
Our memories span the years we shared,
preserving ties that bind,
They build a special bridge of love
and bring us peace of mind.
Love Rachel xxxxxxxxxxxxx
