Probably the worst week of my life :-(

Karma will always catch up with the bastards. So sorry about your Mum, been there and it's horrible how helpless you feel. Catch your breath, do the right thing by your mum and give her a good send off then sort the car when you feel like it, it's only metal it'll straighten.

RIP Tim's Mum
 
Sorry to hear of your loss Tim.

When I read the thread title I thought I could beat the "worst day" tag with my own recent story but yours puts mine in perspective. Hope things improve for you.

Very sorry to hear about your loss Tim. Sincerest condolences. I thing Bing articulated my thoughts very well earlier on in the thread.
 
Hi Tim. Your mum is at peace now and you were there to say goodbye which was a great thing for both of you. Your mum is irreplaceable and you will keep your memories for the rest of your life. The pain will ease in time but her love and memory will stay indelibly marked in your soul. This is the time when the value of friends and family become more important. Use them to support you through this tough time and things will get better.
We all love our cars but they can be fixed. Karma will catch up with the person who damaged your car, but your mums passing was not their fault, so try not to let the car damage bother you. Reading some of the comments on your thread should show you that even a bunch of car enthusiasts that you don't really know care about how you feel. Your mums looking down on you from a better place.
Happy Christmas & may 2015 be a fresh start. Andy. :thumbsup:
 
So very sorry Tim

Lost my mum a few years back - she was in hospital the last 3 weeks of her life - I used to go in everyday to sit with her even though she wasn't really aware of anything - they rang me in the middle of the night at the end and said I should come in as her breathing was deteriorating - I couldn't go in as I just couldn't cope to seeing her in this way - within ten minutes they rang again to say she had gone - I know I should have been with her and I don't think I'll ever forgive myself.

You did so right to be with her Tim and I'm sure she knew you were there.
 
Thank you all ever so much for your lovely comments, its a great comfort to read them, youre right the car can be fixed, it was just one of those days when I looked at the damage and simply couldn't believe it on top of everything else. I can completely sympathise for those who would feel they couldn't be with a loved one when the pass on, my biggest fear was the fear of the unknown of what dying actually involved, I know that sounds silly but I always thought it was an awful process, but like the nurse said to be its not the dying its the leading upto it thats the distressing part, when someone dies its usually very calming and peaceful, which when I was told was a great comfort and helped me be there when the time came.

I really appreciate everyones comments.

Tim.
 
Hi Tim, I'm really sorry to read of your loss :( (I'm not very good with words on occasions like this so I'll leave it at that)

Why not come to the midlands meet on the 28th for brekkie that'll cheer you up a bit!? :)
 
Thank you all, been trying to keep myself busy so washed the Zed and wet sanded and polished up the minor paint damage and brought the shine back up which just leaves the denting, not serious but wandering if fixable as there is very little cavity behind it :(







Tim.
 
It always amazes me how clean your Z3 is Tim, its a massive credit to you :thumbsup: I bet that little ding did frustrate you to bits :( I am sure it wont take much to sort though hopefully :)
 
All my condoleances for your mother Tim. I may not be on here since long, but I hope reading the forum and taking care of your beautiful Zed will somehow provide you some comfort.
All with you in this difficult time.
 
All the best for the future buddy.

From experience you'll need it in the next few days. Unfortunately it gets worse before it gets better.

More of us should take care of our parents as you have.

Credit to you :thumbsup:
