My mum died at 2pm this afternoon as a result of head injuries sustained following a fall downstairs early this morning. The doctors at Queen's Medical Centre told me that she was badly injured shortly after our arrival at hospital and that she may only have a few hours left. While sitting by her bedside, a nurse told me that studies have shown that patients in such a condition can still hear. Suddenly, everything I was saying carried enormous weight, it was clear that this was the last opportunity I would have to say things that she might hear. I had the room cleared and said the things I needed to say. She died minutes afterwards. So, if I am to impart to you something from this day of personal tragedy, it would be to never put off the things you need to say. You never know when fate will take away that opportunity forever. |

It may also seem weird to you that I am here posting this at this time. Well, I was emailing a few people who know my mum online and the words came to mind, so it seemed appropriate to share them. |

Very sorry to hear that Dan - you're absolutely right about saying what you have to say while you have a chance. Life is far too short and fragile to bottle things up inside. Be well. |

This probably won't mean anything to you as what i'm saying isn't anything new or original. But I really hope that you're coping ok with everything. I am glad that you got that opportunity before she went to tell her exactly what she meant to you. I'm sure it was the best thing she could have wished for; to hear that. All of my best wishes to you.xx |

That's just too sad to be true man. My condolences. I've heard other people give this advice but coming from you, after that incident, it makes one think. I'll put that advice to mind. |

fucking hell... my condolences, man :( |
||||||||
|
|

its really good you got to say the things you did, i've just lost my grandfather who was really my father and i'm gutted i never got to say the things i wanted, i hope you get through this with a positive attitude, losing someone this close to me really gave me a kick up that arse. Love and life to you. |

|
|
that's terrible.. butt fucking terrible. =( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

wow dan, im real sorry. i know what its like to feel that way... death is something of a mortality mirror. we see ourselves in it, and it makes us prone to personal revelation and change, therefore sowing seeds of birth. im sorry you had to have that experience that way, and i wish you the best. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm sorry for your loss... i'm glad you had the chance to say what you needed to say... hopefully it makes your loss a little easier to bear... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm sorry to hear your news dan. wish there was more i could say. condolences. my thoughts are with you + your family. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I am also very sorry. Sincerest thoughts are with you i hope the future brings better luck for you. Those were choice words you posted at the beginning of this thread, it would do anyone well to follow those words. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There is nothing I can say to make things better, but I am truly sorry to hear this, I can feel your pain and can only imagine what must be going through your mind. Keep talking to people, be they friends or family, don't suffer alone. |

damn man, I hope you're doing ok... you're right about the advice... and maybe this will help me use that advice more rather then just putting things off... I too don't know what I'd do if I lost a parent... |
||||||||

the reason that I recently lost my job was over an argument with my dad, he quit smoking because he was going to die if he continued, when I broke my leg and was away from work, he started up again, 6 months later after continued promises of quitting again he still hasn't, and his health is suffering greatly because of it, if he keeps going now he might die in a year but if he stopped he could live another thrity, after he quit he was healthier than ever, and now he simply won't give up,.. so I told him that it's easier for me to pretend he doesn't exist than watch him kill himself because he refuses to listen to me and quit, I told him that I won't talk to him again till he quits, and I won't visit him in hospital if he gets sick from it, it's his own stupid fault, the sad thing is,.. I know that he'll die before he quits, so I'll probably never speak to my father again :\ |

I can appreciate what you are going through Dan, my grandmother died quite recently. I never got the chance to see her for a couple of days before she died and I wish I had, but I don't know if I could have articulated everything I wanted to say. The only advice I can give is that the next few days and weeks will be really hard, but death is a part of life your mum loved you very much. |
