I lost my Mother on May 9th this year, she passed away in a residential home and had vascular dementia. I firmly believe that lockdown and the fact she wasn't able to see me for over 8 weeks contributed to her death. Mum couldn't understand why I was unable to visit and felt abandoned and cut off completely. She stopped eating and became more confused. I rang her every day, but she had lost the ability to talk and would become upset and frustrated. I am now left carrying so much guilt over this.
