2-3 weeks turned into 2-3 hours what a shit day. 
 

If anyone suggests that they would like people to be there for their final moments tell them it is the shittest idea ever. 

Really sorry to hear 😥. I was there for my mum's last three days, it was really tough

[Traf]

My 102 yr old nan was sent home from hospital last Friday to see out her last days at home.

She's not ill or unwell, she's not in pain, she's just dying.
She's old and her batteries are running out.
I've spent a couple of hours each day just sitting with her, holding her hand and chatting in between her naps, as have other family members.

Hope shes as peaceful as can be pal.

What a superb innings 👏

Thanks again for the thoughtful words. He was in such pain it is honestly a relief but watching it happen was awful.

@Traf hope your nan is comfortable and peaceful

Yeah, she's settled and just waiting.
We've all said our goodbyes, we've been very fortunate.
She's honestly my most favourite person in the whole world and I feel blessed to have had her in my life for so long.

Thanks, mate. 
I can't even begin to imagine how difficult your experience has been and my thoughts are with you and your family.

Hope it’s not too stressful for you pal when the inevitable happens

I was lucky enough to be holding my mums hand as she breathed her last.

If we’re honest, I think that’s how we’d all want it to be. I even took a picture which I had mixed feelings about at the time but in hindsight I’m glad I did. It’s a memory I cherish now. 
 

sorry for you loss Ani x

I've got pics of my folks holding hands as my dad entered his last days/hours

Neither of them knew 

But that's ok as the picture was for me

Shit times all above. I hope those above get the peace/closure/dignity everyone deserves

My Nana passed peacefully at home this morning exactly two weeks shy of her 103rd birthday.

She went out on her own terms, at home with a minimal amount of fuss.
She wasn't ill and wasn't in pain, her body finally gave up and now she's at peace.

Thank you all for your kind words and support.

Sorry for your loss, 

[Tonge moor green jacket]

Aye, condolences. 

A life to celebrate.

Incredible to think she was around (very small) when we won the first cup final at Wembley. 

WW2, moon landings, Woodstock, cold war, heart transplants, test tube babies, mobile phones, concord, myriad music influences, etc.

And wanderers in Europe.

RIP.

My step daughters boy friend did the Leeds half marathon today to raise money for the hospice that cared for him. 
 

Then we went the pub

 

Fair to say this was a much better Sunday than last week. Never been to a city marathon before but it was brilliant.

A great innings, no doubt a very long life very well lived, she must have seen so much and had so many stories to tell. RIP 🙏

Mrs Fogarty has been in Salford Royal since yesterday with a small bleed on her brain and a minor stroke and I’d have been absolutely lost without our daughter.

A couple of weeks ago we had a fall out over a car. 
Makes you think.

Thanks Gonzo. She seems to be doing ok. Her legs are a bit wobbly but I’ve had two bollocking today so hopefully she’s on the mend.

If she’s dishing out the bollockings it sounds like business as usual, hope all is well mate

Sorry for you and your family's loss @Traf 

 

Hope your lass is going to recover quickly @FrancisFogarty

Only just seen this, I’d like to offer my

best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Mrs Fogarty has been released from Salford Royal after her stroke/bleed. Progress has gone really well. Neurosurgeons were happy to hand her over to the stroke team for physio so she’s at home now and back to bollocking me.
