The toughest talk of all

Later in the afternoon I will be speaking at the hospital my wee mum Joan sadly passed away .My mum was very rarely in hospital over the 5 years I cared for her ,but was in 3 times over the last 2 months of her life as her health deteriorated .Each time for a week and on the 3rd mum sadly passed away .I want to thank NHSgg&c  especially the staff nurse for inviting me to share my experiences caring for mum and the times mum was admitted .this just might be the toughest talk of all  

Thank you to all above for the invite I look forward to speaking about my magnificent mum ,dementia ,caring ,the life stories I receive and people I meet on my tour
