Instagram<\/a> on Saturday.<\/p>\nThe singer penned: \u201cJust to let people know, my beautiful, brilliant, opinionated, loud, warm-hearted, talented and singular mother died on Thursday night at 10.30pm. My sister Cory and I were by her hospital bed for 30 hours straight and in the end, as is so often the case, she slipped away in our absence with a beautiful nurse called Mercy ( you couldn\u2019t write it) caring for her.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe care she received in those last days at Addenbrookes was remarkable \u2013 considered, careful and empathetic \u2013 and to a person, they all said how much they had loved my mum, how she had made them laugh and how she had always been interested in them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pullman added: \u201cShe was 43 years without my father, 30 years without a cigarette and 20 years without a drink but never without a humbug and I like to think that now, she is sitting with my father having a large dry \u2013 martini and a cigarette as she can genuinely do what the f**k she wants now.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am my father\u2019s daughter and those who know me well will know that I am never at a loss for words, but today, I have no words to describe how much I will miss her. You did well mum. Safe travels.\u201d<\/p>\n
Actress and comedian Dawn French commented on Pullman\u2019s post: \u201cLove all around you, sweet L.\u201d<\/p>\n
