It was my brother who told me ... He didn't have much choice ... I'd phoned her earlier in the day and knew she was off sick from work .. she wasn't answering the phone ... so I'd phoned him to ask him to walk round and check on her ... but he'd already found her dead on the floor 3 hours earlier ... he hadn't planned to tell me until I got off the plane on Saturday - but I could tell something was up by the tone of his voice - so it all came out while I was stood front row ... I lived with her ... I've never been apart from her much ever ... so it's really hard for me ... I've lost my Mum, my living companion ... and my home pretty much as it has to be sold now .. and I can't stay there anyway as she died there ... it's been pretty much awful
