Hello,
My mum started home care on Feb 20th to ease her pain. She was sharp and brilliant, joking around until she started morphine. She died peacefully on March 4th, despite my brother's mother in law making a scene, trying to barge into the room several times while just the family was collected in silence with my mum, and then having a rageful go at my brother, just seconds after my mum passed away. That was weird and sadly will stay with me forever.
My mum was the smartest person I've ever known. When my dad passed away she took on the last bits of business he had with such grace she made it seem easy, and in the meantime she kept raising us and being proud of us. She was an excellent writer, editor of our stuff, and a film lover. She had film jokes up to the very end, when some of her speech got jumbled. She was the greatest love of my life.
I will continue advocating for awareness about CRC and I wish you all a peaceful journey. I will check in every now and then to see how you all are doing, and wish NED for each and every one of you.
