@achrisevans incredible interview with Reverend Ruth Scott taking place. Well done for holding it together and what an incredible lady.
Reverend Ruth told how she shared a tender moment in hospital with her son at the weekend in which he asked her to impart 60 years of wisdom in one day, while sat at her bedside.
She also said: "I’ve got two or three weeks to live at most so we're in the middle of saying goodbye's with the family and thinking about how it is to be separating from one another.
"I've got to accept the fact that I’m dying.
“I want to die as naturally as possible. Death's natural I want to get rid of all the medical stuff that I've been able to do and be able to embrace dying, be surrounded by my family and people that I love and know that they will be alright afterwards."
"I've been really lucky because I'm surrounded by my lovely family through this journey."
