I dont quite know what to say at the moment
other than I wont be online for a while as my
mother is dieing in hospital they are just waiting
for her heart to stop and not going to try and
restart it as she is to weak and they think she
as had enough when it does stop. she is basically
asleep all the time which is a good way to go our
family think but the hardest thing now is we have to
say goodbye and just hope she is not suffering and
can hear us as its like she is not with us now just her
body is there. I wish all trucknet members all the best
and if I am online anytime I will just pop
in and say hello ect
sorry to hear that convoy, and i hope it doesn’t drag on too long for you.
i don’t know the specifics of your mam, but they told my family the same thing and i pulled through, i may look like something out of belsen but i’m alive so you never know, good luck, steve.
I’m so sorry to hear of your troubles Convoy its hard to find the words when there are so many posts of families facing loss. If you find the time to get online and you want to pour your heart out then please pm me and I will do what ever I can to help.

Hi convoy, it’s hard to know what to say at a time like this.
I’ll stick with saying that I do understand what you’re going through, because we had exactly the same when our Dad died.
There’s four of us, so we kind of took it in turns to be at his bedside, Dad died on my “shift” @ 13:00hrs on Christmas Day 2002.
My heartfelt feelings go out to you and your family at this time.
i lost my dad few years back my dad bought me up as single father …miss him dearly and my twin boys were only 3 months old when he died of a heart attack…hes missed them groing up they 4 now…
i know what your going through mate and my thoughts are with you and your family…
Deepest sympathies mate at this time as I lost my mum just over 2 years ago still remember it to this day when I got the phone call from my missus at 0805 in the morning.
Dad was devastated they had been together fo 56 years he got up during the night to go to loo and got back in bed and came downstairs at 7am to make her a cup of tea found the living room lights on from earlier in the night (as she had got up during the night for a drink) and went to give her tea in bed and found her passed away and she according to paramedics went during her sleep about 3 am with a stroke and cos it was on her right side she couldn,t wake dad to tell him and he still hasn,t got over the fact that he couldn,t do anything for her.
He comes to stay with us at weekends but still talks about her as though it was yesterday he hasn,t managed to come to terms with the fact he couldn,t do anything and still blames himself.
Thanks for all your kind words its most appreciated.
My mum just turned 61 in January 2008 and last month
got put on a drug called warfirin to thin blood to stop
strokes and blood clots ect untill that time she had a
good heart it was tested about 1 year earlier. The doctor
told me and my brother that she would be out in a few
days but would take a while to get back to so called
normal. We said good bye in the afternoon visiting hours
and she took a turn for the worse shortly after and we got
called back to say basically our mums dieing. With her
heart pumping slowly its enlarged and all muscles around
the heart are week also as the heart pumps blood to other
organs her kidneys are not good and she as a infection killing
of the good cells. We are taking it in turns to be with her and
all relatives have been and the doctors said yesterday the next
48 hours are critical.
