My mum went quickly in the end after a long time with MS, but we had time to get the closest family round when she died. I dread to think what it would have been like for my Dad had her death been drawn out over days and weeks. She'd had pneumonia and an overnight oxygen level drop; she was still breathing but other than that she was gone and was never coming back. Thanks for that, but sorry to hear about your Mum too. I think one thing i've learned is that things rarely go as you think they will. Sometimes that's for the better, sometimes for the worse. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinji Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 this sort of speculation of the BBC is just totally distasteful.
