My mum died on 2 July. She was 77, but so fit and healthy, so it has come as a complete shock. I thought she would live to be 95 like her mum.
She was on holiday with my stepdad when she had an accidental fall. She got taken to hopsital in a coma, but they couldn’t do anything as her injuries were so bad.
I feel totally numb.
We are waiting for her body to be brought back.

Hi KazB,
Just read your post and thought I would reach out and say I am thinking of you.
Keep posting on here and just take very small steps and just survive each day for now. That will be more than enough for the time being.
Get through each day doing whatever you can. Cry as much as you want. Rest and sleep and try to eat something no matter how small just to keep you going.
You are still in the most terrible shock and it’s heartbreaking.
Sending love
