Hi all,
Unfortunately on wednesday night my wonderful nan ended her struggle with heart failure after being in the hospice for a few weeks.
My mum had been with her til about 7pm and came home saying she knew that this would be it. The hospice called about 2 hours later saying they thought we should go there and as we were getting ready to leave literally 10 mins later they called to say she had died.
There is only my mum and myself (her brother and sister live miles away) and we are heartbroken but at the same time glad she will now be with my grandad and no longer in pain.
We went to see her when we got the call and she looked so beautiful and peaceful and the nurse who was looking after her at the time was holding her hand when she died. I am eternally grateful for all the staff at the hospice who did a wonderful job in looking after someone who is so important to me and who has done everything for me and I have so many cherished memories.
I just know I'm going to miss her so much.
I was a mess yesterday and did not go to work thursday or friday but I'm going to go in tomorrrow for a half shift and then return to work as normal on monday til thursday - her funeral will be on friday.
Mum has completely suprised me today in the fact that she has booked us both a two week trip to goa in india at the end of march. She has been before (I havent) and knows its such a therapuetic place. I certainly know my nan would have loved us to do something like that together.
RIP nan, I will miss you so much and I feel so privilaged that you were mine. I will never forget that the last time we spoke we told each other how much we loved one another. xxxxx
