Lost my mum today.

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

Sorry to hear that, but don't be hard on yourself.

Remember the good times and keep her in your heart. It's always hard to lose a loved one, and it feels amplified at this time of year too but raise a glass to her and keep thinking and talking about her and she'll remain with you.

Thank you mate, appreciate your kind words.
 
So sorry for your loss - particularly as we approach the festive period. Losing parents is difficult but the old cliche that time is a healer is true. Still miss my dad more than 10 years on. Thoughts to you and your family

Thank you mate.
 
Brought a tear to my eye. What a lovely tribute and your mum sounds like she was a lovely person and a great mum.

Don’t beat yourself up with what if’s. It isn’t your fault mate.

RIP your mum and my thoughts are with you and yours.
