Throughout lockdown myself and my Brothers were unable to visit our Mum in her Care Home, she was in the final stages of Dementia. When visiting was allowed in the garden, it was limited to half an hour,keeping 2 metres away, and only one nominated Family member. Yesterday my Mum deteriorated, I was unable to visit until this morning, when I was five minutes too late, and she passed away, my Brothers were not allowed in the home, I sat with Mum and held her hand for the first time since March.
