Bye bye Mummy

In loving memory of my mother, Vera Margaret Brain, who has just died suddenly. The doctor said it must have been instantaneous, probably as she was having an afternoon nap.

It's not quite 12 hours since we found her body.

My thanks to the ACT Police, whose kindness and professionalism made a very real difference.

  13. I am so sorry for your loss, Zoe! My mother also just recently passed (on Nov 26th) and I still cannot even look at her photos without crying. I'll keep you in my thoughts over the already stressed Holiday season.

    If you need someone to talk to, feel free to shoot me an email: yoshie66@hotmail.com

  14. Zoe, I have just picked up on this news, so my apologies for the late response. My own mother died suddenly whist I was in NZ (she was in the UK)so I can empathise. One positive thought is that she gave birth to you and can be so proud of what you have achieved

Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.

Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.

Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.

As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
