hodge911 Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 As a follow up to my post in july regarding my sister being diagnosed with cancer I had the horrible job of breaking into her house with the police last night and found her passed away on the sofa. I had become concerned throughout the day as she always visited us on a Monday,Thursday &Saturday . I spoke to her on friday to see if she wanted me to go pick her on Saturday to get the usual reply of no I'll get the 9.10am bus . Once it got to around 10.30am I started ringing her but got no answer so kept on trying until about 5pm then I contacted other family members but still nothing I went to her house and looked in the sitting room window to see her on the sofa I tried the doors but all locked tried banging on the window as hard as could but no response so called 999 and 10 mins later the police & ambulance arrived broke in and confirmed she had passed ..... She will be massive miss in our family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Geordie Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 I am so so sorry for your loss matey 😞 there is nothing I can truly say take away the anguish and pain. It’s a sad place to be, and having all the rigmarole of organising the necessary paperwork etc is another blow when your down. I have Mums funeral tomorrow. So I know a little of how you feel, but it hits each of us differently which is how it’s difficult to offer a meaningful condolence. Hope it was at least a peaceful passing 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge911 Posted September 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Thanks everyone The only consolation is she's not suffering any more.. But today has been hard having to ring round all the family members and explaining time & time again what happened and how I found her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both my parents are very ill and won't be getting better, and need a lot of help from me and my wjfe. I feel terrible knowing that when the time comes it will be a release for them but that is sadly the way it is with some illnesses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Dad went very suddenly and I never got the chance to say bye. My Mam developed cancer, and although she died within a couple of months, I got the chance to care for her before she went, and that time was very precious. It was a great relief for all concerned when she went. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge911 Posted September 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Thanks to everyone who posted . We got results from the coroner and my sister passed due to her lung cancer . I asked if it was quick for her in the end & they reckon she passed very peacefully . The next hurdle is now the funeral on the 16th of this month and then hopefully we can start to come to terms with losing her so quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRDS Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) My best friend died slowly of a brain tumor at an age far too soon, it's horrible to watch and go through for all friends and family and I am sure you will but try and make the funeral a celebration of her life.

hodge911 Posted September 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Apologies but I need a RANT BEFORE I GO INSANE!!!.... well my dad who passed in 1989 was 100% correct . He said if there's going to be a fight in a family its going to be at a wedding or a funeral . The greed monster has raised its ugly head . My sister's 2 daughters (only 2 children sister had) are at each others throats over ........... Can you guess .. Yes £££ And I'm stuck in the middle trying to keep it sensible and ensure sis has the best send off we can without any nasties . And I have to admit its taking it toll I hardly slept in 2 nights trying come up with scenarios to keep everyone civil until its all over .... Again apologies I just needed to get it off my chest without adding to the problem by talking to family members who could carry tails & make it worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
