Bob,
much sympathy - however much you are expecting the passing, it's always a shock when it finally happens. When my mother died, it was a mixture of sorrow and relief. Sorrow in that she had gone. Relief in that she was in poor health & dementia had robbed her of recognising family.
Time to draw a line, and tidy up the loose ends. It's said that you never accept a passing until you cry, and in my experience it's true

So sorry to hear this Bob. My deepest sympathies to you and Julie. Your Mom's pain and suffering is over and she is in a much better place now. So Admiral, it's time for you two to heal from your pain and suffering...
Really sorry for the sad news Bob.
Being with her until the last moment must have been very sad and painful but that's what good sons do for their parents.
Really, really appreciate the huge amount of wonderful comments and condolences. So kind of you all, means a huge amount gents.
As many have said both so sad but a relief. Mum looked so ill recently and had lost so much weight her neighbour who has been abroad was shocked plus of course the pain had started, so her passing has stopped the suffering and pain, for that I am grateful.
Have a appointment to register mum tomorrow then the joy of arranging the funeral. So myself and Julie have been thinking of hymns and music plus the newspaper obituary. Found some lovely photos of mum to use, however got me crying again.
