We are now nine weeks into this storm and we still don't have a prognosis. The hardest thing is when your fifteen year old son asks if dad is coming home. He also said, "who will take me to the football now?" This is one part of this storm I hate. I think I can be strong through all of this, but when I look at our son, I crumble.

The Storm It's been four weeks tomorrow since I took my husband to the A&E after a week where he was so ill. Twice that week prior to admission my husband went to see our GP.

We had been told that it was expected that he wouldn't live very long, but that didn't mean that his death wasn't a shock because it really was. I was very close to my Dad, even if we didn't always see eye to eye. My biggest regret is that I didn't visit him very much when he was in the care home where he died, or...
