So sorry you've lost your mum @Tobys Knackers . Sounds like she went through a lot but is at peace now. Thinking of you and your family.
She sounds like a very special lady and role model and extremely brave to the end,RIP and condolences to you and your family.
My deepest Condolences on the loss of your mother. Parents are one of the greatest gifts we are blessed with. A mother's love always shelters her children from every kind of harm. We only really realise once we lose our mother. We become vulnerable and wonder where to turn in time's of strife. Cherish the memories mate, time will sooth the heartache.
