    So awful for you, I went through a similar situation with my Dad at the end of his life and it's truly heartbreaking 💔

    Sending love and strength, you've been an amazing source of both to your Mum recently which will mean more to her than I think you'll ever know.

    Take care of you xx

    What an awful few days for you. Covid plus the admittance tomorrow to the hospice for your mum.  Look after yourself as best as you can..

    Oh Efes, I am so sorry. You are wonderful for your mum, I only have a little idea of how dreadfully hard it is, you are amazing. 

    I know it doesn't help. I will send you love.

    Nevertheless she persisted.

    I have just caught up Efes. It's just too unfair that after all your superb care you now can't visit your mum when she has finally got a hospice bed. Thinking of you.
