Sara I can't say how sorry I am for you and for the suffering your Mum went through. You have been a tower of strength for her and you can be very proud of that.

I remember saying at the time how special that photo was and how you will treasure it in the years to come.

Special best wishes to you and whatever we can do on this forum to help goes without question.

Les

Sara, I'm sorry you've lost your Mum and I'm sorry you've had all the heartache since the start of this thread.

Be very proud, though, of what you and your Mum have achieved. Both of you have touched the hearts of many, many people here who would otherwise have never had the chance to share, not only your experience, but their own similar experiences. Sharing grief is so important to be able to survive it............and I say a big thank you to you, Sara.

I bet your Mum would never have guessed the impact she had on so many folk.

Sara, I'm really sorry to read that. Over the last few weeks this thread has been the one that, along with so many other Scoobynetters, I've kept coming back to. Thanks for starting it, for allowing us to share.

Personally I'm proud to know you, even only remotely, and hope that when the time comes I'll be able to show the same strength and compassion that you did.

RIP Vicky. Wish I'd met you - you sound like a laugh...

Sara, I feel so sorry for you.
I went through similar pains with my dad.
I can now only remember the good things, the last weeks of his life seem to have gone from my memory now.

Be strong in your time of grief and be stong for your daughter.
lots of love,
Graham.

Sara - I don't really think that I can express my thoughts better than those who have already posted. I can only echo the thoughts and condolences that have been expressed.

Thank you for being brave enough to continue posting throughout what you have been going through.

Wow.

I've just gone through this thread from the start, and two things spring to mind.

You're a wonderful person Sara, and your Mum was lucky to have someone that special in her life.

Your Mum was someone equally as special and that legacy will stay with YOU for your life - a great legacy to have. Congratulations on having that gift given and received.

Grieve the passing now, but don't forget to celebrate a life later.



Oh, a third thing has just occurred. SN people should be proud of themselves. I'm not sure which has affected me more: Sara's bereavement or your outstanding support.

everyone has been fantastic on this thread. the amount of support i have recieved is humbling to say the least. when i started the thread it was to get advise on finding specialists. i never intended to make the thread into a diary, but i am now glad i did. i questioned weather i should carry on with it when it was getting tough. i knew a lot of people were affected and i also knew a lot of people were helped as well.

i would like the thread to carry on for those that need it. i will still post on here as i feel the need to at the moment. i am grieving like i have never grieved before. losing my mum must be the hardest thing i have had to go through, even typing this now is making me cry. i want to remember my mum as she was on holiday. it was her dream come true. i feel very proud that i had the mum i did

I'm really sorry to hear about your mum, like many others I've kept an eye on this thread. You should be proud of yourself, you've done so much and given so much to your mum. I guess only the ones that have experienced what you are going through can truly understand your pain right now.
Like many others my thoughts are with you.

Sara, I am so sorry to hear your news, you have been such a strong person and so has your mum, I lost my dad 5 years ago, and I took comfort in the thought that he was no longer in pain and was walking tall and strong just like he used too, celebrate your mum's life Sara ! you have been such a supportive daughter to your mum and you should be very proud of yourself,


My thoughts are with you and your family
take care
