good life, good death, good grief

Tommy

“I looked after my Mum for five years. My heart was breaking. I was struggling, and most days I really didn’t know what I was doing... Just as we thought we’d figured a way of getting through things - a routine - dementia would change everything again.

I used to sing Perry Como songs to Mum...I used to sing ‘And I love you....’ and my Mum would go ‘....so’, and her eyes would light up with so much life and joy.”

Tommy, Son.
