Oh dear, I have read a lot of the comments and have to just say I am so glad I was there with my Mother the first time my Grandmother had a stroke. she was living at home at the time and we were visiting for the afternoon. I am so glad we were there. I have been reading a long time and never felt moved enough to post until now, I am sitting here having a small weep for her and my Grandma. I am glad she did not die alone and knew some one cared enough to call for her. Thank-you for you blog and your sense of humour. Also for your book that bought me here, it is currently my favourite to recommend to readers who need a dose of reality. (I am a Library type person.)
