Goodbye Mum

As I'm round friends here, just wanted to get it off my chest that my mum died this evening, after a long battle with Alzheimer's and a short battle with cancer. 
She died peacefully in her sleep in my sister's arms.
Feel totally deflated.

I'm so sorry to hear that. It sounds like your Mum was very much loved & if I get to go as peacefully, I'd feel very privileged indeed.

Big hugs and condolences. Lovely that you feel amongst your friends here.  3
So sorry for your loss. I feel your pain. 
That’s sad @Axe_meister. I lost my Mum to Alzheimer’s 2 years ago. It’s especially hard at this time of year. Take care of yourself.

My condolences. At least she had a loved one with her at the end. 
Fuck man, so sorry to hear. It fucking sucks.

I remember losing my Mum like it was yesterday. But it wasn't, and now I remember her as she was.

Grieve for your loss the coming days, but know that eventually the memories of all the good will overpower these next awful few weeks.

Hugz... ❤️

*edit* TFB are an absolute weapons grade bunch of awesome dudes at times like this, and helped me a lot when I went through it. Lean on them/us, we're all here to help.

Sorry to hear of your loss. I'm yet to experience such loss, so have little to offer except my condolences and to let you know that you're among friends here, and you can lean on us. X

Sorry for your loss. It's hard when a parent goes,  hope you're ok. 
As goodbyes go, that is one of the best ways to go, with someone close to you. It doesn't make the loss easier but it does sound peaceful.

I’m so sorry, Axe. 

We lost my father in law’s mum in similar circumstances earlier this year. The family went through a strange mix of sadness and relief. I hope you’re doing ok - don’t be afraid to rant here as much as needed

Balls :-(

Condolences Axe , I’ve lost a fair few friends but my parents are still hanging in there . I’m dreading the day tbh so I can only imagine how difficult it is for you all.  Take care of yourself 
So sorry for your loss Axe, I can’t imagine how you’re feeling. I hope there’s some small comfort in the fact that your Mum was in her sister’s arms when she passed. Sending best wishes to you and yours.

Really sorry to hear this. It's two years ago today that my Dad died, also from Alzheimer's so I can fully sympathise. Horrible disease.

I'm glad that you were there for you Mum though and that her final moments were peaceful and surrounded by family.

Sorry to hear that mate. There'll be a lot going through your head at the moment but make sure you look after yourself.
When my mum passed I thought I was on top of it but a week later I was in Sainsburys. I wondered what take round to mum for her tea. Suddenly I was wedged against a freezer crying unstoppably.

I remember holding my mother's hand as she passed and although she was in her 90s and I'm getting to be an old man it still hurts so much, never seems fair. 
Sorry for your loss, look after yourself.
Oh man. I am sorry.

Sad news.  You'll likely be okay but what @Brio said about it getting to you later was true for me too.  Take care.
