On the 6th April 2017, Corinne went into St. Luke's Hospice for a routine procedure, expecting to stay the night for recovery. However, once there, the staff decided it would be best for her to be admitted for her final days.
It had always been Corinne's plan to see out her last days in St Luke's - in fact, I went with her to visit for the first time when she registered as an outpatient for complementary therapies. Virtually from the moment she knew that this was not the type of cancer you could recover from, she knew that she did not want to die at home.
Over the days following her admission to St. Luke's, we managed to ensure that the extended family were aware of her position and had the chance to come and see her. On the 9th April, she was given painkillers and sedatives to ease her pain and ensure her comfort.
In the early hours of the 10th April, Corinne died in her sleep.
Her funeral will take place at Hendon Crematorium at 2pm on Saturday 29th April 2017.
In lieu of flowers, and in accordance with Corinne's wishes, a donation can be made in her name to St. Luke's Hospice - www.memorygiving.com/corinnepatriciagibson or contact James Funeral Service 020 8907 6655.
