Marilyn, I'm so very sorry to hear this. My mother went in the same way - a fall, taken to A & E, then on to the ward for observation and tests where she died during the night. I only live 7 miles from the hospital but didn't get there in time to say goodbye. So please don't feel guilty or upset that you couldn't be there at the end.
Do you know this poem? I hope it helps you at this sad time. To live in the hearts of others is not to die. For love cannot die. Diana x
Don't think of her as gone away
Her journey's just begun,
life holds so many facets
this earth is only one.
Just think of her as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.
Think how she must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of her as living
in the hearts of those she touched...
for nothing loved is ever lost
and she was loved so much.
