Lost my mum

I lost my mum on January 30th. She had fallen and broken her hip for the second time at the start of January, and after nearly three weeks in hospital, was due to come home. Then it all went pear shaped . It seems the dementia was very advanced and her hospital stay excellerated it. She and my dad had been married for 71 years and his heart is broken.

We were all able to be with her as she passed into spirit and were holding her hands. It was very peaceful. The nurses and doctors treated her with great respect and dignity to the end. Their compassion and kindness to us all, especially our dad, was wonderful
