Mum raised me & my sisters alone for 15 years. We have always been the closest family. At 58 she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. It has been devastating watching her slip away from us, but we have been there with her through it all. We’ve cared for her at home & were there when she had to go into a care home. We visited her, we hugged her, we listened to music with her, we laughed with her. Covid has now taken that away. She is near the end now & we can’t see her, we are broken and it hurts.
