My mum died yesterday. She was diagnosed with lung cancer 6 years ago, and was generally ok apart from the past 12-18 months. The last 6 months in particular were not good, she hadn't left her house for months, was constantly sick and bed bound. It became difficult to make contact with her, she started refusing treatment/hospital.
She appears to have died in her sleep, or at least she was in bed when she was found.
I am still in shock. I've been keeping myself busy by trying to get things in order, even simple things like cancelling her Netflix, her milk deliveries etc. Burst into tears whilst on the phone to EE cancelling her phone contract.
My dad died in 2008, that was bad. But this feels so much worse. She's done so much for me. And her final gift will be me inheriting more money than I've ever had. I'll be able to clear my debts and hopefully finally buy a house. 25% of my salary each month is paying off debt, and that will be gone. I will be forever thankful. Thanks mum
Sorry, just feels good sharing sometimes.
