Thank you for posting. I do know how you feel as 60 years young is no age. My mum was only 67 and suffered a brain aneurysm and by the time I got to the hospital the only option was to remove ventilation. Its such a shock. But I can say 8 weeks later that I'm starting to see that mum didn't know she was leaving us all behind, so I would rather I feel the upset than mum knowing she was about to pass away. That's a small comfort I think. I hope you are feeling stronger and I have noticed instead of being so focused on my job which is demanding, I am taking more time to see the rest of my family now. It definitely makes you realise what is important in this life, and spending too much time at work is not one of those! X X
