What they said above
and more

I lost my father when i was 11 (solidarity). Nothing quite as horrific as your mum had to endure before and during her illness. it was an accident.

but i totally believe you felt it when she wnt. the night my father died i had a dream that my parents split up. which wouldn't mean all that much except 6 weeks before my brother died, and i dreamt that my best friend had died. Also my mother said that the day my father died (he was away , in america) we all went for a walk to get out of the house and suddenly she felt this overwhelming sadness and that she was alone on the world so she turned us around and we all went home. that night she got the phone call.

so people can be cynical, and i'm not sure what i believe, but i do believe in the enduringness (is that a word?) of the human spirit and that we make connections with people that are so strong that we can feel it when someone is gone.


so there'll be no mocking from me.
