Re: The call came
Your mum died surrounded by love. Massive hugs to you.
After a 5 month battle with cancer induced dementia my dad died in my sister's arms- I was not able to be there- and at the end he went in peace, which was a comfort to me.
Remember all the good times and happy things about your mum, not the awful last part of her life. (Sorry if this is not coming over right, I'm crying too much to think about it properly- it is coming from the heart.)

Re: The call came
As a parent I would not worry about my offspring being near at my end...just happy that they are happy....so don't worry about not being with your dad in his final hours. I'm sure he would be happy you are settled.

Re: The call came
Today at 7.25am my call came.
My younger sister took her own life yesterday at the age of 39. She was a troubled soul who has battled depression and mental health issues for many years. I don't know what to do with myself today whilst the UK sleeps, I might as well be on another planet.
