My mum suffered from Alzheimer's disease and lived in a care home. I saw her the week before lockdown and gave her a kiss and cuddle and told her I would see her as soon as I was able. Mum was admitted to hospital on 03/06/20 with sepsis and died on 07/06/20. I was not able to visit her or be with her in her final hours. Little did I know when I kissed her it would be the last time.
