The FastDay Forum

Thinking of you and your family at this difficult time SallyO. Take care and, as others have said, leave the fasting for another time. You need nutritious food and a few treats to get you through.
God bless.

Just filling you in after your wonderful caring posts: my mother died at 2.30am this morning, on her 93rd birthday. It is a weird feeling, some relief that the past 6 years of dementia and increasing frailty are over and disbelief that this central person in the family has gone. We are all here together and I am grateful for all my blessings.

RIP to your dear Mum sallyo..yes it IS a very weird mixture of feelings isnt it x

Sorry for your lost sally. Glad you are with your sisters and you can all support each other. Take care

My love to you and your family Sallyo. I know what you mean about the mixture of feelings. The main thing is that she is at peace and is surrounded by love.

I am sorry for your loss. I hope you and your sister can give each other strength and all the support you need.

Sorry to read of such sad news. Sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry you and your family and your mom have had to go through this pain.

I lost my mother and sister the same way and find that I remember them mostly the way they were before dementia struck. I hope that eventually you will experience the same and be able to take pleasure in happy memories.

Just logged on - so sorry for your loss.Take care God Bless.

My sincere thoughts are with you and your family. May your mum rest in peace forever more.

This is a poem I included in the service booklet for my mum 2 years ago.


Those we love don’t go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Forever loved, missed and very dear.
Once in the heart they are there to stay
The illusion of loss in time will be gone
Your memory will build an everlasting bond

My sympathy to you and your family SallyO. Love and Hugs.

So sorry for your loss, I've been popping back now and again to see if you'd posted. Thinking of you xx
