This time last year I lost my mum. When in and out of hospital I saw some very challenging scenarios that the staff must face every day. It hurt to see this, to see other patients without the family member there spending time with their loved one.
I saw compassionate care and at times I saw it lacking. I understand the pressures staff are under but there were times I did not see care.
This isn’t just
This isn’t just a woman with dementia, this is my mum
This isn’t just someone who cannot speak, she spoke three languages
This isn’t just someone who doesn’t understand you, she was a teacher
This isn’t just someone who can’t care for herself, she raised a family
This isn’t just someone who lives in a bed, she travelled the world
This isn’t just someone alone, her address books overflow
This isn’t just someone who needs your care, she cared for many
This isn’t just a woman who is dying, this is my mum
"Hospital, care home and end of life care"
