Cloth Ears Posted February 3 Posted February 3 Mum passed away this afternoon between 1:10 and 2:00 after a year-long battle with MND. Peacefully in the end, although I would have given up 2-3 months ago. But she was tough. She was enjoying music and home movies last week and on the weekend, but was asleep most of today until I spoke a few words to her after midday today. Being the oldest sibling (thus the title of the post) sucks! Also learning that it's never too early to organise the finances of someone who is terminally ill...as we're left with some rather large bills to cover until the estate becomes available - 6 weeks minimum. We'll cope, but it adds a bit to the frustration of losing a parent that way. Soul destroying, knowing your mum still has all her knowledge and wit, but is no longer able to communicate it. 2 7
