Speaking of neighbours, ours lost her husband last week and her mother earlier this week. She had been caring for them both at home, but they both went downhill pretty fast over the past few months. We would look after the mother when she had to go out, but she had no idea where she was or who we were and she was terrified a lot of the time whatever we did look after her. The husband refused for anyone else to look after him until he was too weak to object. Our neighbour’s landlord has lowered the rent to allow her to stay, and honestly it’s probably a good thing that she has her life back again. Still, it’s an end to a really terrible last few months for her.
