Sam, my prayers are with you and your family at this time. I am happy to read she dealt with cc on her terms, with no regrets. And to be united with her first born… What a wonderful gift!!
Sam,
So sorry to hear about your dear Mum, but I hear in your note how joyful her life was and how she was able to live out her life on her own terms.
How great that you have a new big Sis!!
Please accept my sincere condolences.

Hello Dear Sam, I answered your email first. You know how sorry I am about Mum but she truly did it her way. How wonderful about your new Sister and that Mum had both her daughters. That was a miracle, indeed. Did you live in the same city? Mum is really at Peace knowing you are together now. Don’t be a stranger to us we love visitors and you are family!
Letter from Heaven by Ruth Ann Mahaffey
To my dearest family some things I’d like to say
But first of all to let you know that I arrived okay,
I’m writing this from Heaven. Here I shall dwell with God above
Here, there’s no more tears of sadness. Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy because I’m out of sight
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through
God picked me up and hugged me and He said “I welcome you,
It’s good to have you back again,
you were missed while you were gone,
As for your dearest family, they’ll be here later on.
God gave me a list of things that he wished for me to do
And foremost on the list was to watch and care for you
And when you lie in bed at night, the days chores put to flight
God and I are closest to you . . in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth and all those loving years
Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears
But do not be afraid to cry, it does relieve the pain
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
One thing is for certain though my life on earth is o’er
I’m closer to you now than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb
Together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
When you’re walking down the street and you’ve got me on your mind
I’m walking in your footsteps, only half a step behind
And when it’s time for you to go . . from that body to be free
Remember you’re not going . . you’re just coming here to me.Hello everyone. Just a little note to let you know that my Mum slipped away peacefully this weekend aged 79, 9 months after being diagnosed. I wanted others to know that she declined chemotherapy and as a result had fantastic quality of life until her last month. She was able to control her pain with just paracetamol and it was only in the last 3 weeks that we had to use oral morphine and sickness medication. She did have a steep decline in the last month with rapid weight loss, but died where she wanted to, at home, and it was a privilege to be with her at the end. A month before she died, we had an extraordinary reunion with her long lost daughter who was adopted before she married my Dad – so she has left me the great gift of a lovely new big sister. Thank you to everyone who supported me on this forum – it’s a fantastic source of information.
