Eunice lived in her own home, supported by care staff and by me. We all had a good relationship. After several falls Eunice was admitted to a care home just as lockdown began. We were relieved she had 24hr care, but felt terrible that we could not help her transition into a different life. We could see her through a closed window, that was all. At first quite happy, she began to decline rapidly. As lockdown eased she stopped eating and drinking, and passed away - in only a few short months.
