About brewis1gard

It will be 8 weeks ago tomorrow since I lost my Best Friend - My Mum. Although she had metastatic oesophagus cancer, she had gone into a nursing home for respite care with, we were told, a sinus blockage. We were told a week or two in there would get her back on her feet. But, just two and half days later she was taken to hospital where she passed two days later due to pneumonia. Only the day before a nurse said she would probably be in for a couple of days. It was such as shock as I went to visit her and found her unresponsive. I felt like my whole body was going to explode. I now feel so lost; so empty; it feels like there is a huge solid wall in front of me.
