My first husband died, aged 53, from a heart attack - smoked like a chimney. Children and I had to breath it all the time, smoked in the car and in bed. Yuk. Though I did smoke when we met, gave it up when I had the children.
I wish you and your mum courage and I hope you have plenty of practical help, Lyn. More hugs.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Oh Lyn, so sorry to hear that. Thinking of you and your mum. Very best wishes and hugs xx
Thank you Lesley, she is still very poorly but slightly better than she was. At least she has stopped being sick and eating a little instead of 'tube fed'.
Very best wishes to Mrs Fishy and all poorly people and their families xx
Thanks folks, dad always said that if she went first, he would be very soon after.
Liz and M, I dont think I will post on other sites, this thread is made for it. It does drag people down a bit, but if either of you want to pass message on, I dont mind.
Well done with the smoking Lizzie, when I met my new OH and he asked me out, I told him right
from the star
t that there are strict no smoking laws , he agree

OH smoked very heavily, then 25 years ago he just stopped, he is still having health problems from it, but then again if he hadn't stopped he wouldn't be here!
Sorry to hear your news Lyn - hope the medics are able to keep your mum comfortable. Macmillan nurses do a wonderful job & I'm sure they will give you lots of support as well as your mum. There's usually someone looking around this forum if you need to chat.
Try to find some time for you this weekend.
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
Lyn, I am sorry it wasn't better news. There is some value in having time to say goodbye properly, which having lost one parent slowly and the other suddenly, did make a difference. But at the time, it can be hard to appreciate that. More hugs xx
Lyn - I don't know what to say either but, as Lesley said, take all the help offered. We're all here whenever you need to offload your worries or sadness. Many of us here have been through these situations so I hope it's of some help knowing that other people care. Kindness of strangers. Look after yourself too xxx
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Really sorry Lyn. Take all the help you are offered and hope that you, your Mum and your Dad are able to cope with this awful news. Hugs from me too.
