We lost mum earlier today. It was very peaceful, calm and still, me, my brother and dad were all there with her. Feeling numb, but also relieved in a really, really, weird sort of way. Relieved that we can now start to move forward and that the limbo period is over, for all of us, including mum. I am thankful for the good times we had, that we had a good relationship, that she got to know and bond with her grandsons, who were such a source of joy to her. Thankful that although life was taken too soon, she was independent, healthy and happy until the end. That the final days were just that - days. Not a long drawn out painful process. I can't even begin to understand why this had to happen now, but I have to trust that one day, I will x
