A grief-stricken mother has revealed what she and her late-daughter discussed before her untimely passing.
Amy Greenwood, 22, from Skelmersdale was discovered unconscious by her partner after experiencing an asthma attack.
The mother-of-two was taken to Wigan hospital the following day, on October 21, 2022, where her family had to make the agonising decision to turn her life support off.
The young mother had only recently relocated to her new family home, with her fiancé, Keegan Boylan, and two children – Bailey, five, and Orla, one.
Amy’s mother, Joanne, told the Liverpool Echo that her late daughter was ‘upbeat and positive’ during their last phone call together, talking about what she’d done that day and a cute Christmas pudding outfit she’d bought for Orla.
The grieving mother said her daughter was excited for her future after moving into her new family home.
During their final phone call Amy was talking about the little things she had done that day such as, washing her hair and building a new coffee table with her partner.
Joanne recalled: ‘[She said she] was OK, that she’d bought a little outfit for Orla – it was a Christmas pudding outfit that was still hanging up on the back of the door weeks and weeks later.’
Amy, who worked for the supermarket chain ASDA, had lived her entire life with asthma, and had visited hospital because of the condition multiple times.
However, the mother-of-two, who was looking forward to her future with her young family, had never experienced such a severe attack.
On the night of the unexpected asthma attack, Amy’s partner, Keegan, was startled by a loud thump coming from upstairs.
Unfortunately, despite the best attempts of medical staff, the mother-of-two passed away the following day.
Keegan followed the sound up the stairs of his new home, to find his beloved Amy not breathing.
He instantly began performing CPR on his fiancée. Family members as well as emergency services were contacted and the 22-year-old was taken to hospital.
Amy had never had an asthma episode as severe, according to her mother, who was told by medical staff the attack may have been triggered by a basic cold or hidden infection.
The grief-stricken mother said that the episode was so ‘bad’ that nobody could have resuscitated her daughter.
Joanne later detailed how she deeply has misses her child, who she chatted with daily.
Despite her enormous loss, Joanne explained Amy’s passing has made her realise how loved her daughter was by other people.
A year after the sad passing of the mother-of-two, the family have organised a charity ball in Amy’s memory.
Joanne stated how important it is for people to be able to spot when someone else needs an inhaler, or know what to do if someone is unable to breathe.
Amy’s mother hopes raising awareness will make people more empathetic towards those suffering with asthma and how debilitating the condition can be.
Tickets for Amy’s Charity Ball have now completely sold out, however there are still raffle tickets available,
Joanne said: ‘It’s all about remembering Amy,’ adding: ‘She saw the good in people. She was a really good friend to people and she just loved her babies.’
All the money made from the charity ball will be donated to Asthma + Lung UK.
