It's been an emotional and quite difficult time but a new learning experience. I have never dealt with death so up close and personal before as we cared for Mum in her home for the last few weeks, and I'll continue to learn as we deal with the business of dealing with Mum's estate.
I think she knew that she was terminally ill and didn't let on to us, holding out to see her 80th birthday just over a month ago. After that her decline was very rapid.
After some difficult days, her last couple of days were quite peaceful.
RIP Mum.
