I am answering for my brother, who died of a brain tumor in April. He remained at home throughout with help of community nurse specialists and advice line.
The nurse specialist listened very carefully to my brother and genuinely wanted to understand his wishes - which she respected and acted upon. She was there for us - visited regularly and always rang back when contacted in a crisis . During lockdown a replacement nurse specialist kept in frequent contact by phone - we did not feel abandoned.
Advice line - One of main reasons my brother was able to remain at home. I rang frequently for advice on symptom control and the nurse always knew what to do - gave confidence and made us feel safe.
The kindness and support I have received from the bereavement service following my husband's death have been second to none.
Being able to talk to someone outside the family about how I was feeling and how I would cope with the situation has been invaluable.
Meetings were always relaxed, never hurried and always left me feeling better, with something positive to achieve before the next meeting.
I knew should I feel I could not cope I could get in touch with my counsellor. During "lockdown" we have kept in touch with regular phone calls.
After several months I am now feeling much more positive and know things will get better. I will always be grateful for the support. Thank you.
Your care was very wonderful and you done every think me and my sister ask never come in and tried to take over you asked what we wanted you to do and we can not thank you enough for what you all did for our mum.
We came to see our wonderful Dad today to Say Goodbye. Thank you for caring for him and showing great care and kindness to Our Mum. It’s often the small things that show the most compassion and genuine care, things that are easily taken for granted and over looked. I want to say thank you for the understanding. Thank you for showing genuine kindness. Thank you for providing a space where my Mum could just be there to comfort Pops. Thank you for the tea and remembering Mum likes coffee. The small things really are Big things at times like these. Thank you x
Following the passing of my husband I found you to be really responsive to my needs. You were able to assess my situation and quickly provide me with counselling with a wonderful lady called Wendy. During lockdown Wendy and myself still managed counselling via the telephone and her support has invaluable. My husband died at home and without your total support I do not think I would have managed. I cannot thank you enough.
I found the therapy quite beneficial and relaxing. The breaking meditations were particularly helpful.
