Hi all.

I know I just posted a couple weeks ago about how I wouldn't really be around as I was going to the US to help out my mom while she has her chemo and to sort out other issues with my family. Well, things here got pretty bad pretty quickly and I am sad to say, my mom passed away this morning.

Not sure why I am telling you lot anyway but at the moment I literally have nothing to do whilst I wait for some phone calls and such so I guess I'm just killing time and sharing a bit.

Do me a favour everybody and if you are able to, call your mothers before you go to bed tonight and tell them you love them. Even if they be some kinda crazy bitch that drives you out of your everlovin' mind.

Thaks all. It was really very sudden - she was really mostly fine (as you can be on chemo), feeling fairly strong, still working 3 days a week and all, and then she just suddenly got very ill very quickly. Essentially, she got septicaemia - her immune system was suppressed by the chemo, so when she got an infection, she couldn't fight it off and it got into her blood and although it probably was happening slowly for the past month, she just suddenly plummeted as it took its toll. So it's come as a bit of a surprise, that she would go so quickly.

I feel a bit badly saying all of this when I know zorra's mom has just started chemo as I don't want to freak her out. But my mom's situation is different and not typical, so please zorra don't think that this is going to happen to your mom too.

So sorry. I've lost family members to cancer as well and i know the toll it takes on the entire family. It must be especially hard being that it was your mother. Stay positive and you'll pull through.

The mother is God in a child's eyes and for some they can't change that figure to anything lower as they grow older.

It's terrible to hear about this Peachy and hopefully time will mend this for you promptly.

i can't even explain the devastation i felt when i lost my mother. my whole world crumbled and it was really hard to pick up the pieces and move on. i'm not trying to say my situation was the same or that i know where you're coming from, because i don't. i'm just trying to say that i know what it feels like to lose a mother, and i am so very sorry for you and baby peachy, mr.peachy and the whole peachy family.

This is sad news I'm so sorry to hear about, I'm not sure what to say to give you any strength but in this case I believe your entitled to any feelings that come your way. God Bless.

I'm calling my Mom tonight, I promise.

I'm so sorry. I can't imagine the burden you feel right now. I know that you will work your way through it.

It's such good advice to try and tell the people in your life what they mean to you on a regular basis. Every conversation could be your last. I didn't get to see my dad before his last surgery but I am sure he knew what he meant to me.

Thanks again everybody. It's still sinking in and I'm sure there will be good moments and bad moments and some really shitty moments over the next several days, but I'll weather it. I'm a 'do-er' and there is certainly plenty for me to do here still: my sister's situation still needs sorting out, my nephew needs taking care of and my mom's husband is a lovely man but he is not a 'good coper' in bad situations so he will need a lot of support. So, there's still lots to keep me occupied. Oh and of course, there's the whole having a three-and-a-half month old, too. So I'll work through it all; it's what I do.

I am very glad I got here in time to spend some time with her - even though some of it was a bit fractious - and I'm relieved she got to meet her granddaughter before she died, at the very least.

That's really great. I'm sure your daughter will appreciate having met her, even for a little bit. My grandma died when I was about 1ish or 2, but I still treasure our pictures together and the fact that I actually did meet her. (y)
