Like so many of you here, my mum passed away just over a year ago to cancer. She was 81 and fortunately was eventually diagnosed with only a couple of months’ notice.
Those two months enabled mum, my sister and me to say our goodbyes through the tears of grief and those borne from the joy of spending as much time together as we did. To witness the pain and suffering was gut wrenching. At least the morphine worked.
She was an incredible woman and my best friend and my mum. I feel truly privileged to have known her.
I take only positives from the experience: The importance of the Now, the present moment. Live life and do not be afraid. Cancer is a dis-ease, if I follow my bliss, I aim to be more at ease.
Go in peace, joy and love
