Sorry to hear that, I never really know what to say when I read/hear of things like this, it really brings you down to earth.
My sincere condolences to you mate
I know what that suffering is,my mother died 3 years ago ,at the age of 89.
In the last 15 years she was unable to do her normal life,she suffer for arteriosclerosis also, and in the last four years of her life she stay in bed almost all the time- fortunately I had some professional care to help me to take good care for her needs,but it was a lot of pain and suffering seem someone you love slowly losing her capabilities and quality of life
but, above all, you should be happy for all the love and affection and support that you gave to her ,until the end of her days.
I know that in these firsts days you will be in a lot of sorrow and pain,be strong and if you are a believer ,like me,you will know that she now is in a much better,peacefully place

Sorry to hear it, this sort of thing fills me with dread as my gf has suspected MS. By the sounds of things though research into this horrible disease are progressing quite a lot so I can only hope if/when she needs it there'll be effective treatment.

So sorry to hear of your loss, my sympathies to you and your family. You must be a pretty strong bunch to have held together and cared for your Mum over so many years.
My Mum died 3 weeks ago, I still want to phone her up like I used to and tell her daft little things!

Sounds like she took everything in her stride without complaint. I'm sure it's a big loss to you and I can only hope others emulate your mum as she sounds like a true role model for those out there who refuse to help themselves.
She sounds like a truly great lady. RIP.

Best wishes at this difficult time.
Mmm... that sounds like something out of a tacky condolences card! Never mind, it's the best I can do, other than to say if there's any good to be drawn from this, it's that your Mum was spared any further suffering as the condition worsened, and that your last memory of her is of her being in an upbeat mood.
I don't see my Mum as often as I'd like due to ending up at the wrong end of the country. But I'm off up there next week for a few days. Thanks for reminding me how fortunate I am to still be able to do that.
