hi
i lost my dad on the 18th october and my mam on the 23rd of nov,i still hav'nt come to terms with it. i lived next to them so i saw them every day and done everything for them. We had no warning that my dad was going to die we just thought he was going into hospital to get his meds changed,then they informed us that he had leukemia and he died two days later.My mother had her stomach removed and we thought she was doing fine, went for her checkup and they said they did'nt want to see her again untill her next checkup.a few weeks later she went down hill so we phoned the hospital and they said to bring her in ,they had a bed for her,after the test they informed us that a limph node next to her liver must have had a tiny speck of cancer in it that they missed and it had spread. There was nothing they could do so we brought her home.All of the family was with her ,she could not sleep ,drink,or eat and we could tell that she wanted to go and join my dad ,she had had enough.After we all said our goodbyes ant told her how much we loved her the nurses came in and put her on what you call a syringe driver ,she fell asleep and two days later she died.but what was so strange was seconds before she died she open'd her eye's and looked at both sides of the bed,i think she was checking to make sure we were all there.I will never forget that night,but i am glad i was with her every day till the end.I don't think i will ever come to terms with it,i want them back so much.
