Hi Peter, I so empathise with your difficult separation. My parents have been together 67 years, married for 63 at the end of the month. Although in a care home the past six months, dad visited her every morning and me my sister and brother used to share afternoon visits. It was important to us for her not to feel abandoned and she constantly asks when she is going home! This enforced separation is so hard. I know it’s a matter of time before they close the doors on all visitors but due to dad being 85 he has to be in isolation but we think tomorrow will be out last opportunity to see mum too. The care home is allowing 2 visits per resident per week as long as you are fit and well of course.
The home is taking bookings for a Skype call for residents to stay in touch with family. Do you think that would help Bridget maintain the visual comfort of still seeing your face? Might be worth asking.
let’s hope this awful disease has done its worst and will be a distant memory in the near future! Take care, Tracy
