When my Dad was taken ill, I arrived at my parents house at exactly the same time as the crew. I think we were both shocked by just how ill he was, when Dad was in the ambulance the Para asked if I would like 'a few moments to speak to my dad', (I couldn't go with him to hospital as I had a new baby and mum was ill too) he took the mask off Dad and left me with him; I said goodbye and it was goodbye, he died a few hours later. Sometimes things just can't be 'made better', but how the inevitable loss is dealt with is so important. Thank you for making the effort Sometimes ‘words’ is all you can do, how you pick the right ones is a mystery to me, I don’t imagine it is from a text book.
