Mum died last week, the man said, I would, ‘get a second strength’, and I didn’t get that. Dad lost hope and kept crying but only when he was alone. I would see him crying through the front room window. Dad was Churchwarden for 30 years, absolutely faithful to ‘The Church”. The lonely corridors and
