Sorry for your loss mate.Our dear Mum (aged 96) passed away this morning after 5 nights in hospital and we were amazed that she lasted this long as we had been informed that it would just be a matter of hours initially.
She had been in a Nursing Home for 9 months having Dementia but her latest setback was no oxygen was circulating into her blood system and even at the maximum dosage the medication wasn`t working.
At least she didn`t suffer any pain and was on high doses of morphine to stop her getting agitated.
She was a star alright and very often she reminded us of Nana from The Royle Family.
RIP Mum and catch up with Dad at long last.

Really nice words mate and I can honestly say I feel the sane .My sincere condolences to you.
I had the same experience with my mother. We were told, after she'd had a massive brain hemorrhage, she would'nt last the night. She kept hanging on for a week, despite the brutal Liverpool care pathway we had to accept.
Grief is a very personal thing, but the pain does ease after a time.
My mother was the best friend I ever had, and I can honestly say a day hasn't gone by since she passed when I haven't thought of her. There are no tears now, just happy memories of a wonderful woman.
