"My mum being on palliative care in our home"

About: Specialist Nursing Services / Community Matrons, Nottingham West

(as a relative),

Cherry came into our lives at a difficult time as mum was deteriorating & she supported us both through immensely testing situations until the end in May 2025.

I can honestly say without a shadow of doubt, her efficient manner, ability to grasp exactly what needed doing at every stage, her reassurance, knowledge, compassion, honesty & guidance was totally invaluable. Without her being with us on this very difficult path I quite honestly do not know how I would have survived the past weeks without her input & presence guiding me through this increasingly upsetting situation.

Anyone who has the good fortune to have Cherry by their side during the most testing of times is truly very lucky indeed & I will be forever grateful to her for how she has managed mums (& my) difficult journey.

Dear Equuleusqq36

It must have been very difficult for you to write this so soon after your bereavement and we are deeply grateful that you have found the time to tell us about your experience and the care given to your mother and you.

Thankyou for the candid way you have spoken about the care Cherry provided I know she will be moved and touched to receive this feedback which I will ensure she receives. should you have any questions or need support do not hesitate to get in touch with us.

With our condolences and kind regards

General Manager
