Lost my mum today.

Mate I feel your pain as I lost both my parents within a month, both big blues
Tragically they both died the year before Sergio’s winner so never got to see our recent success.
Dad took me and our kid to Maine road
Through all the bad times and was my best friend for years until he died
Like everyone else I give you my condolences and if you ever need to chat throw me a msg 24/7.

Thank you mate. It must have been awful for you and your family to have to deal with that.
I appreciate you taking the time out to reply, every little message gives me a little bit of joy.
Thank you

Had a call to say she wasn't answering her phone.
I left work and went round, she had fallen and had passed away.
She had turned the lights and telly off and was on her way to bed.
She fell last week and I offered to stay with her for a few days but she said no.
I feel so guilty, I should have insisted. She was 89.
I'm fucking gutted. If I'd been there it might not have happened.
She was a lovely, kind woman, never judged anyone or anything.
She grew up with nothing, yet spent the latter years of her life working in a charity shop.
Born in alty, as was I, she was a red, and loved United as much as I love city. Her dad was blue, so i guessed she rebelled, as i did. She didn't mind at all that I chose city.
We watched the Derby together on Sunday, I don't begrudge her that win, and she never ever gloated.
We watched it hand in hand, I think she knew her time was near.
She was almost happy for city's successful recent years, she had seen enough red success to last a lifetime.
I'm so sad, when my dad went I didn't lose my dad, because he had dementia, I lost the guy that used to be my dad. Somehow that made it easier.
I've lost a wonderful human being that I'm so lucky to have had as a mum.
Sorry for the long type, I just needed to let it out.
RIP Sylvia

Really sorry about your loss, you can only do what you think is best at the time, About 12 months ago I decided to give up work to care for my 92 year old mum full time & to be honest its not easy, she also has dementia & went into Hospital a few weeks ago with breathing problems,
I really thought she wouldnt be coming home but amazingly with the help of the doctors she is now better & back home, as you will know its a real emotional roller coaster but I watched on as she looked after dad for 10 years before he died so decided she deserved the best care she could have,
I am dreading whats ahead but we just take a day at a time and get through best we can, to be honest this forum is one of my best places to get away & have a break while she is sleeping although city playing shit is really not helping!, anyway sorry to ramble but as others have said I know after my dad died time is the best healer, you will never get over it or forget them but the passage of time really does help.

Thank you mate.
Where do I start to even comprehend what your going through, let alone try to explain my empathy.
I can't, that's the simple truth. Words mean nothing really. When you are faced with it, you cope, you just do.
I'm spending a lot of my time just remembering mum.
I didn't even know we had played today, I'd forgotten all about football.
Thank you mate
