I lost my 91 year old mother on 25th June 2016. She was diagnosed with cancer on 18th June in Gloucester Hospital, was sent back to the Nursing Home for end of life care and she passed away with my Dad, my sister and I with her in the early hours of 25th June.

We are big, close-knit family with plenty of love and support for each other. Mum and Dad had 5 children, 11 grandchildren and 9 great- grandchildren.

Every “new” occasion since her death has been difficult, the latest was a joint 1st and 2nd birthday party for Ben and Martha (great-grandchildren).

My extended family of Aunts, Uncles and Cousins are also quite close.

My cousin, Nigel, had an accident in January when he broke his back. Since then he has been in hospital unable to walk. He and I are extremely close and as well as looking after Mum before she died I have spent a lot of time with Nigel supporting him through this difficult time.
