We had a phone call from the hospital to say Mum's breathing had changed around mid day. I didn't manage to take the call as I was in the bath and couldn't get out fast enough. So John took the call at work and then phoned me back.
John came back from work to take me to the hospital.
Mum died shortly before we arrived.
We were able to spend some time with her, and everyone was very kind. I talked to her, and stroked her forehead. I told her again that I love her. I know that it may sound silly to some folks, but it made me feel better to talk to her.
We then entered the more surreal part, but don't feel up to writing about that just now.
When we got home John spent a long time phoning family and friends.
I guess the best way to describe how I feel is numb.
Hugs and prayers, dear Maggie.
