My mum passed away this evening.

awwww mega hugzzzzz....sorry for your loss
 

Many thanks Zand for those comforting words, both you and @jack412 are right and time is a great healer. I have a lot to sort out, which is the bit I hate most, but I have two lovely brothers to help me.

Take care

Love Marilyn xx

So sorry for your loss - take as much time as you need, and remember we're always here if you need to talk about anything. Take care x
 
So sorry to hear your news Mazzer. My Mum died in similar circumstances, with me several hundreds of miles away, a number of years ago now. It's horrid. But, over time, I take comfort knowing she wasn't bed-bound or hospitalised for a long time leading up to the end, as that was something she really didn't want.

Don't rush through the sorting out. Most of that can wait a while. One of the things I found helpful was the "Tell Us Once" service you should hear about when registering your Mum's death. It was extremely useful, and saved a lot of work:

Look after yourself, and think happy about happy times with your Mum..
 
Condolences to you & yours at this very sad time.
 
Hello Maralyn. So sorry for your loss. Our friendship with our Mums is so special. Take care. HugsMo x
 
Condolences on your loss. A mum is such a special person in your life but she will always be in your heart and I'm sure you have wonderful memories of her that I know you will find a comfort in the times ahead. My mum passed 6 years ago and I still think of her and the things we did together. Treasure the memories and the good times you had together. Huggs to you
