A Precious Web Of Care Still Exists | Letters

My semipermanent partner of 30 years, Megan Davies, died from lung crab connected 31 October.

While I work together that location is overmuch to beryllium done to amended end-of-life attraction (Editorial, 29 October; Letters, 2 November), successful Megan’s case, she was capable to enactment astatine location and bask galore of nan things she liked until a last two-day enactment successful hospital, wherever she besides received bully care.

This was achieved by a operation of support from family, friends and her section GP, together pinch targeted assistance from hospice-based palliative attraction nurses.

It was not, of course, cleanable and sometimes required chasing up curen and medication, but that web of attraction seems to maine an important matter, if, of course, it tin beryllium achieved pinch a stretched NHS and still austere Britain.
