The Call while preparing for Mothers Day

This afternoon we received the call from the hospital that we needed to go in and see Helens Mum.
The call not unexpected but still a shock. After a long drive we arrived about 8pm. Just in time for her to still be aware when Helen held her hand.
We stayed a few hours and it was difficult to leave but we had to.

On the long drive home we promised each other that we would not let the NHS 'care' for us in our final days and hours. The lack of care, compassion or just simple respect was shocking and will probably haunt us the rest of our lives.
