HJS I hope everything went well yesterday for you and you gave your dear mum the send off you wanted. Best wishes for the family.

Cheers pal. It was better than I could have hoped. It was standing room only at the cremotorium and they were packed in at the sides and the back. I wrote the eulogy which the vicar read and everyone I spoke to said it captured my mum perfectly. Loads came back to the wake and even the sun came out.
The work continues sorting the house, probate etc but as a send off it was beautiful and I think I did her proud. Feeling surprisingly calm today as though a weight has been lifted knowing she is no longer in any pain or panicking every time the phone goes in case its the carer or the hospital. Thanks to everyone on here and on twitter who have been so supportive. It has meant a lot through a difficult time and I hope I can offer the same words of sympathy in similar circumstances.

I feel for you Homer. I lost my Mum to cancer a few years ago, I'm down south and she was home in Scotland. I know what you mean about dreading the phone call, you know it's coming sooner or later.
Enjoy the memories and keep moving forward :thup:
