Probably the worst week of my life :-(

I had to rush my mum into A&E last Friday as she suddenly fell ill. She was put onto the Acute Medical Ward and then went into the Critical Care Unit last Sunday, she was in a pretty bad way. On the Tues I parked the Z3 on the hospital car park and in my usual anal parking way parked on an end row so at least the drivers side would be free from any car dingers. When I came back some Arse*ole had reversed straight into the drivers door, of course they drove off. In the state I was in at the time I just looked at the damage and couldn't have cared less. On the Wednesday I had a call to say my mum probably had only a few hours to live so I rushed to the hospital and in my haste curbed one of alloys :( My mum passed away that afternoon. I hope karma catches up with the person who drove off.

Sorry for your loss Tim. My sisters a nurse and always had damage to her car most weeks. I just don't know if it is just carelessness or that some people are going through the same as you and just don't really care because it's just a car at the end of the day. Still not great but cars can be fixed.

Horrible to loose a loved one at any time of year and even more so at this time of year. I've lost a few over the past couple of years at xmas. My thoughts are with you.
 
Sorry to hear about your mum passing away,this time of year seems to take a toll on the elderly.
 
Tim, my deepest condolences - I know from your posts on here how much you put her before everything else and did all you could for her. Probably more. The car can be fixed, forget it - karma will win. And your mum is at least now at peace. Not much consolation I know, but I hope you have no doubts in your mind about whether you could have done more, because I don't think you should. Take care, I hope the next few days and weeks are kind to you.

Thanks Allan and everyone for their kind comments, I stayed at the hospital most days and over Sunday and Monday night. As my mum had pneumonia it was actually a very grim illness to witness, I didn't know too much about it until now. As a result it got to a stage where I couldn't face witnessing the end as I imagined death itself would be an awful thing. I said to the nurses I couldn't be there come the time. I then thought how selfish am I thinking of myself and not my mum, hence when I got the call I rushed to the hospital. When the time did come it was actually a beautiful experience and nothing like what I imagined. Being there until the end has made the copeing side so much more bearable. If I hadn't have been there come the time I would be beside myself now and thinking allsorts.

Tim.
