Good Afternoon all,
I'll start off with a bit about me, I'm Laura 38, originally from Glasgow, but now live near Liverpool. I've got 4 children & an amazing partner.
Anyway, my brother rang me on the 2nd of August & told me the worst possible news ever, my beautiful mother had suddenly passed away at home aged just 61. She was absolutely fine on the Thursday morning, got my brother up for work, but 3 hours later she was dead.
My mum was a lollipop lady so was off work due to the summer holidays, Thursday was also my dads day off, he found her in the livingroom around 10am. Called the paramedics & was advised to start CPR until the paramedics arrived. They worked for around half an hour on my mum, but it just wasn't too be.
I think I'm still in complete shock. I feel very empty, and sad all the time. Like a part of me is missing, she is always on the forefront of my mind, I can't stop thinking of her. I travelled upto Glasgow on the Friday with my eldest son, and started planning the funeral. I've never been in a funeral parlour in my life! Let alone talk to a humanist about my mum. The funeral was the 10th August, and we travelled back home to England with my dad & brother. They wanted to come & stay for a few days before going back to work.
I feel like I need to see a doctor to talk, I have so many questions. The autopsy showed she died of coronary artery something, I can't remember the something & don't want to ask my dad at the moment.
I was lucky to speak to my mum on the Wednesday afternoon, I was due to get an operation on the 8th August. My parents were going to travel down the day after to help with my recovery & look after the children for me. Needless to say I cancelled the operation as soon as my brother had phoned me.
I'm not really sure what I'm looking for by joining this forum, my head is mashed.
Thank you for taking the time to read.
