My Mother

08/11/2020

My mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2017 and went into hospital for 3 months due to her Diabetes in Feb 2020. She was discharged into a nursing home because of the decline in her mental state where visits were possible in the garden up until October. Now only window visits are possible where my mother becomes so distressed and agitated because she can't understand why she can't hold my hand or have a cuddle or even hear me through the window. I'm heart broken and so is she.
