Got the dreaded phone call at 2am this morning.
Recieved the dreaded phone call at 2am this morning to say my mum had passed away. It was expected over the last week but was still a shock. She had a stroke a year ago and has had a few since but had a major one on Monday. I have been ironing since 3am and can't find anything else to do until I fly home on Thursday.
It's a true saying when they say you'll miss your mother when she's gone. God I wish I could have been with her. Julia.x |

Re: Got the dreaded phone call at 2am this morning.
My thoughts are with you, I am so sorry to hear such bad news.
My mum died aged 57, 4 years ago whilst I was in the UK and even though I only lived 2 hours drive from her, I still wasnt with her when she died. I had a 2 year old to look after so couldnt just be at the hospital all the time. I last saw her 3 days before she died. The moral to the story is, no matter how near or far away you are, sometimes you just cant be there. Dont beat yourself up over it. Take care of yourself and try to focus on the good times you had with her rather than the time you spent away from her. |
Re: Got the dreaded phone call at 2am this morning.
I really feel for you. Don't what else to say but sending hugs your way

Re: Got the dreaded phone call at 2am this morning.
my mum died july/05 /2005, not having known how bad her health had got and i was on my way to the hospital after staying there for the last few nights with her, and decided to go home to have a shower get changed etc, and got the phone call from my aunty (just 2 mins back to the hospital ) to say she had gone, just 45 mins after leaving her there with all the family around her, but i felt such guilt at not being there, my mum was 52 and had ALD, ( alchohol, liver disease, but she was in her time a great mum, it's never easy and will take time to realise she isnt with you but take your own time to adjust to it, and time heals but doesnt take away the pain you feel, but as the beautiful poem WENDY posted says it all, i am leaving to go to oz in 2 weeks and dont know how i will cope not being here to visit my mum but i do know what she would have said if she was here and that would be to enjoy my life and make the most of the time i have left on this earth , take care and my thoughts are with you,

Re: Got the dreaded phone call at 2am this morning.
Just wanted to say a big thankyou to you all for your kind words. Wendy has just left my house and I have come on here to say a big thanks to her.
WENDY IS ONE OF THE FRIENDLIEST PEOPLE YOU COULD EVER MEET. She has been here for me the past year when I have had my sad times. What a star she is and also my other friend Farideh who has listened to me as well. I have been looking for the correct words to say at mums funeral and have just read the verse what Wendy has wrote and I can honestly say that if anything has brought me to tears it sure was this. It sums up everything I want to say. Thanks Wendy. I love you.xx Julia.xx |

Re: Got the dreaded phone call at 2am this morning.
I am sorry to hear that your mother has passed away
but remember she would be very distressed to know that you are upset because you weren't there. I am sure your mother knew very well how much you loved her and cared for her and I'm sure she felt the same way about you. Try and remember in this sad time how much fun you had together and how much love you shared. Your mother will never really be gone as she is carried safely in your heart always sending ((((((HUGS))))))) |

Re: Got the dreaded phone call at 2am this morning.
Julia, I am so sorry for your loss. I think that has to be one of the hardest things about living on the other side of the world and I dread the day it will happen for me too. Safe journey!

Re: Got the dreaded phone call at 2am this morning.
So sorry to hear of your loss. My father passed away at the end of August, and in the meantime before my flight home I cleaned my house like a maniac. I suppose it was to keep myself busy and not to get too anxious before I flew over to the UK. I wasn't looking forward to the funeral, but I found that spending time with family and friends was extremely comforting. I wish you all the comfort you find at home with your friends and family.

Re: Got the dreaded phone call at 2am this morning.
I just wanted to pass on my condolences to you and wish you a safe journey. I never got to say goodbye to my brother and I know how painful it was for me no matter what anyone says. Im sure your mum would prefer your memories to be of when she was at her best and not when she was so ill. She would have know she was loved Im sure. Take Care and be kind to yourself , Trudi
