She had a cardic arrest which in turn caused another stroke. She was blue and died before the ambulance reached us. I had to call 999 twice cause she got worse and was coming into a stroke. I was with her until the end. The police had to come in due to the death being at home. They came out and took statements from paramedics and us. Then the undertakers came and took her 2 hours after her death. We had 2 hours to say good bye to her. My Sister and I lay with my Mum.

I'm broken, I'm lost, I'm emotional, I'm overwhelmed but most of all I'm unsure how we will all cope

Thinking of you and praying for you and your sister. Losing a mother is a great loss and it will take time to adjust. I am glad your sister was there too and your mom was not alone.
Thanks for this!

I'm OK thanks

Just numb

The police still have my Mum. Hoping her body will be released tomorrow. The funeral can be next week as booked. They are doing a visual post mortem on Mum tomorrow.

Had to write the Eulogy that was tough. The news paper clipping acknowledgement and also the online acknowledgement too. The last one is where the link to the online Web cast will be (morbid I know) but due to covid we are only allowed minimum numbers
