Will, I am so sorry this has happened. I know the pain it is to loose someone so close to you in your life. Remember that everything happens for a good reason. You know she isn't in pain anymore and is watching over you. Yes we are just random people on the internet but if you need anything from any of us, we will all be here for you. :hug::lovedup:

Good job, now I'm crying! :blush::blush:

God bless you.

Thank you Super V, a lovely message which has really uplifted me. <3 :lovedup:

You guys on here mean so much to me, I will if I'm feeling down at any point. :love:

Aw bless you. :love:

Reading that has really made me sad, she sounds like such a lovely kind woman. I'm 100% sure she feels the exact same about you. Stay strong and I'm always here if you want to speak. All my love goes out to you and your family :love:

Will I'm so sorry :(

:sad: She's such a (good) image of how I imagine British old ladies being :laugh: She's amazing, I would have adopted her to be my nan also :love:

I read it all and it's all very really touching. It reminds me of when my family (with him) decided to move my (widower, advanced cancer-sick) grandpa to this care home and one week after it he choked on his food and passed away. It came to all of us as a shock, understanding how everything is so fragile. But we knew it wouldn't have got any better had he remained alive, and as he lived life to its fullest, altogether it was bitter sweet. We remember and cherish him and the good person that he was with a great smile on our faces and you celebrating her life is the best thing you could have done. :hug:

really sorry here to hear that will. R.I.P :( hope you're okay!

I'm sure she does, thank you for such sweet words that are really helping me in my difficult time. That's lovely of you and I'm sure I will speak to you if Im feeling down. Thank you Daniel. :love:

Rob. :love: :hug:

lool, I'm sure she would have loved that. :laugh:

Oh that's ever so sad and unexpected, I'm so sorry, that must have been a huge shock. He sounds like a lovely man, I'm sure he is a very proud grandpa looking down on you all. :hug:

:love:

Thank you Jay, I'm still not good but I'm trying my best, your support means a lot and really helps. :love:

Just thought I'd check in Will, to see if you're okay. :)

I'm okay ish thank you. x

Just over a week ago. :(

Her funeral is next Thursday <3

They say time's a great healer, but it took me a long while to get over my mum's death. I say get over, you never forget.

Over time fond memories replace sadness.

So sorry Will. At least she had a loving family. Maybe not the time to say this, but that care home sounds as though it needs investigating. When any elderly person falls, the chances of broken bones is extremely high and it seems negligent at the very least, to think that they didn'øt take her to hospital straight away to be checked out.

I hope the pain is gradually healing Will and I'm sorry to hear this :( I've never really lost anyone so I can only imagine how hard it must be

Yeah it seems that as the days gets on it gets better but worse at the same time, difficult to explain. :love:

Memories are so important. :flutter:

Thank you. :love:

I completely agree, it does need investigating, I think there's a lawyer on the case atm.

After she fell once and returned to the care home she was supposedly put on a higher care plan but then she fell again and that resulted in her death in hospital. :(

It's a shame because it's a beautiful care home and most of the staff are quite friendly.

Although when she went into hospital no one from there ever contacted to see how she was.

Thank you Tom such lovely words. :love:

I hope it does to but I don't think it will happen anytime soon. :(

It's honestly the most frustrating thing in the world to know that she could still be alive today if she hadn't had fallen...

I find it so difficult thinking that what if she decided to stay in her room a bit longer and not gone down the stairs.
:(

I know what you mean. My mum went to hospital with a nasty sore on her leg that wouldn't heal. She ended up having a heart attack two weeks later, and died.

I regret her going to hospital and wonder how different things would have been if she had been treated at home.

That was three years ago. I don't get sad now. Indeed I often laugh at the funny things she'd say.:joker:

Even in death a loved one can bring much comfort.

Yeah the best thing to do is just cherish the memories as it helps so much. :love:

The funeral was very sweet in a little chapel, it wasn't religious because she wasn't in her later years in life.

There were cuddly penguins laid around the chapel as they were her favourite animal and everyone got given penguin pins to wear.

It was a fairly short service, the speaker was ever so nice and it didn't feel like a funeral until the burial.

Her burial was short, it was quite cramped aroud the area and had to be careful where to walk because didn't want to fall in!

The wake was cute at a pub near my aunties, I met my great aunt (nans sister) who is like my nans twin, they look and act so alike! She was telling me such funny stories about when she lived in east London.

You would all love my great aunt, she's just like my nan! I felt so comfortable around her and could spend hours talking to her, I hope to go and stay/visit with her sometime.
