My mum died. She had MS. My life revolved around her. On Christmas Eve I got a call that she was being brought into hospital with the flu. She was in Ireland. I flew over. They allowed me in to see her. She recovered but caught another hospital infection just before her discharge. They then locked the hospital down because of the flu and Covid. I battled to see her.
I got a phone into her so she could call me. Three nights before she died she called me begging to go home. She didn’t want to die alone. I was able to see her the next day after begging. The following morning she died on her own. I can’t get over that.
I’m so lost without her. My whole life revolved around her. I find it hard to carry on.
