My father

22/10/2020

My father enjoyed his care home , he took part in daily activities, he made new friends and his general health improved after struggling with care in the community. He had regular bi weekly visits from my sister(40 miles away) and Myself (80 miles away)However C19 took all of that away from him. He died in May -I had not seen him for the entire lockdown. He told me how scared he was if the people in masks, that he didn’t know who they were or what was happening. He died without my touch, alone
