This is powerful stuff, Diane. It is truly terrifying how Covid is lurking around quietly (if you're not directly affected) causing horrors, but everyone is acting as if it's not a problem any more.

I haven't told you yet because i didn't want to worry you, and with your Dad visiting too, but Charlotte's been very ill with Covid lately. She's recovering now but it was bad. I'll tell you more in a private message. But Charlotte herslf posted about it on Facebook a day or two ago, so you should be able to read that (you guys are Facebook friends, aren't you? ) I think she mostly put it there to show people at work how poorly she'd been. They've been total arses.

Thanks so much, Rachael, it really is terrible. I saw Charlotte's FB post earlier and was really shocked, I'm so sorry she's been so horribly ill and hope she recovers completely (and at her own pace), will talk more soon xx

I'm so sorry about your Mum. Thank you so much for writing and sharing this, I realised I was holding my breath most of the way through - it is an incredibly powerful piece.

I am so sorry about your mom, and about the lack of care you have experienced. You know my thoughts on this, and I can only hope that others will come to find it in them to care over time.

Thank you ❤️ Yes, we have to have hope, but in the meantime, knowing others get it helps me feel a bit less alone.
