Hi folks, not been around much lately, that's because my dear old mum, who sufferred from MS for more than 30 years, has sadly passed away.:cry:
We had the funeral the other week.
So why am I posting this here of all places?
Because there are many old heads and old hands here who have been there, done that and got the T-shirt, and know where I am.
And so, this is an obituary.
I'm not going to pretend. Living with her illness was a daily drain and was very difficult. People talk about "compassion fatigue", well, I hit that fifteen years ago. No-one ever asked if I was coping, but if they had, I would've just said "what difference does it make?" You just have to cope even if you're not.
But underneith the disease, she was a warm, loving, caring, beautiful person, and I'll miss her very much.
I love you mum.
Rest in peace.
God bless you.
