    Heart breaking post, Andy. I hope your new pup gives you as much love, I'm sure it will.

    My mum died Wednesday in her sleep after a short illness. Bit up and down to say the least.

    Thanks. She'd been in a lot of pain from osteoarthritis and osteoporosis amongst other things. She got what we think was gastroenteritis and that was too much for her. The doctor came and gave her antisickness tablets and we got some painkillers down her for her pain and my brother carried her to bed, but sadly she didn't wake up.

    In some ways we're grateful it was this way, as she didn't want to go to hospital and didn't want to die in a care home.

    As always with people dying it's those thoughts of them being here one week, and gone the next...

    I wish there was something I could say to ease your grief. Sadly, there isn't.
    The BBS is a wonderful place for getting things off your chest, if needed.

    thank you. I thought I just had a bad cold. Symptoms are very similar.

    It's made me well up this thread. No matter what problems life throws up. There's someone worse off.

    Best wishes to everyone. As I write this I'm feeling a bit numb about everything. Just one of the many facets of mental health.

    Thankfully I've started finding ways of snapping out of the melancholy.
