My dearest Aunt Jilly

Her ever-loving neice Jo
23/10/2020

Jilly, who has Alzheimer's, nearly died in April of a combination of diabetic crisis and Covid, caused by her care home. I am her only lifeline, but I've only been allowed to see her three times since March, and I now don't know when I'll ever be able to see her again. She has nobody but me to help her keep memories of her rich life alive; and her general cognition is suffering terribly as a result. This is incredibly worrying /heart-breaking for me and nothing short of a living death for her.
