Royal Marsden fire

[Denny]

I'm sorry to hear about your news, JogOn, and the circumstances surrounding your mother's experiences, whilst at the Royal Marsden.

My best friend recently lost his father just before Christmas. Before he died, very suddenly one night in his sleep, he was suffering from a terminal illness and severe memory problems like Alzheimers and it looked like he could deteriorate further for quite some time. My friends mother was finding it hard to cope as well because her husband was being cared for at home.

After he died, my friend also felt a sense of relief that he didn't suffer any longer. He told me that his father always feared dying and couldn't bear hospitals. Luckily he was saved from this torment.

Really sorry to hear this Jog On, a terrible time for your partner and you.

Jog On I hope all works out well.

Thanks for the kind words all – it’s not my mum who’s going but I have lived with my girlfriend for 10 years now and know her mum quite well, they have a very very close relationship so this is going to hit her really hard, it kind of has so far but the worst is yet to come

It will hurt you so much to see pain and suffering of your girl,as well as her mum. you all have my deepest sympathies, My heart goes out to you all.

Bad Joke

As someone said. Nothing more, nothing less. Not directed at the person, but at the incompetency of the hospital.
Unlike some of the pious posters that joined in, I thought Jog On has been very courageous and dignified throughout the experience - to whom I would like to add my condolences and apologies for any offence I may have caused. To the few that resorted in insults, take a pop instead at the incompetent hospital and fire service (based at Kings Road - round the corner) that let this happen.
