Thanks for your kind words. I just felt so bad when the paramedic called this morning. She lives 90 minutes away, and I visit once a week and sort out her food shopping and we have a meal. She is in sheltered accommodation so is safe but she’s lonely for family. Now she’s in hospital and I can’t visit because of lockdown, I just feel bad she is alone. I’ve not ever told her about my son’s problems but she knows something is up and doesn’t understand why she’s seen so little of him in the last few years. Before all of this my son would pick her up in his car and take her for dinner, then his visits stopped dead, and I’ve never really explained fully. He does visit her more now which is good. She’s not very understanding about mental health issues, despite having had her own problems.
