My Mums update thread

This thread is dedicated to my Mother and her recovery.

Photobucket


On Monday the 4th June 2007, while holidaying in the UK with my Father, my Mother was struck by a van while crossing the road.

Mum spent 88 days in various UK hospitals before finally being brought home back to Australia on the 30th August 2007.

She is currently in The John Whittle Nursing Facility with brain damage

I have set up this thread to keep you all updated on her condition and her improvements and hopefully one day, Mum will be able to read it.

Re: My Mums update thread

Am back home after attending my Mums funeral. It was hard. Easily the worst day of my life. 

My dad, sister and I attended a viewing and I got to tell her that I loved her, that I was sorry and that the kids and I will be ok, but that wasn't my Mum in the casket. It wasn't the mum I'm going to remember. 

I wrote a 5 min eulogy and was able to get through the whole thing. It wasn't until she was being wheeled out and put in the hearse that I lost it. The crying turned into uncontrollable sobbing and then hyperventilating. I was about to collapse when a friend came to help me.

Now it hard to believe she is really gone. I guess that because i really lost her 9 years ago.

i think dad will be ok. He is thinking about going on a cruise. My worry with him is that he has become a hoarder. It's hard to move around his house. He says he will sort it out but I think he's past being able to do that.

Hi daydream, I felt the same way when we had mum's viewing. It isn't the way I remember her that's for sure. It does get easier as time passes but it is never easy. I hope your dad will be ok.

Re: My Mums update thread

as the time passes you will start to remember the good things and have a little smile when you think of her, the pain won't be as sharp.

 

just allow yourself that time.
