Hmm, if I could go back, but not change anything massively, I'd go back to the night before I lost my mum and tell her how much I loved her. We shared a nice last moment, but if I'd have known she wouldnt wake up the next day, I would have said so much more.

I get that, yes. I wish I'd said something to my mum the last time I saw her in hospital. I held her hand, but didn't say anything. She was totally out of it on morphine, not really conscious, only briefly opened her eyes a couple of times and I thought at the time there was no point as she couldn't hear me anyway. But I do sometimes think, "you never know". Maybe she could have heard me, maybe she did know what was going on, maybe some words would have given her even a fleeting moment of comfort. I didn't spend much time with her in the few weeks so he was in hospital - my sister was by her bed day and night but I had a 4 year old and a 2 year old at the time, and we lived an hour and a half away, so couldn't be there much and that's not something that I could change because the situation was as it was. But yeah, I do wish I'd said more on that last visit, and on the one before that when she was still conscious.

Very sorry for your loss Scarlett. Losing a parent when you're still relatively young is ****.
