My mum died yesterday morning and she was vomiting black blood and went into cardiac arrest.the day before she was improving and although frightened, she was quite happy. Suddenly the hospital rang and said too come straight away. I knew it was not going to be good news. She had not been eating properly for a long time but refused to go to the doctors. She said i don’t think I will get out of here.i can’t comprehend what has happened. Seeing her lying there, a shell of herself. Apparently she had ovarian cancer and kidney failure. I am at a loss as to how to react and be there for my dad and family?
