Your End of Life in Their Hands

"Faced with the knowledge that our life is drawing to a close, we deserve to be respected, supported, and properly cared for. Dont we?"

This is a true story. An honest, open account of my fathers end of life.

From the moment he showed signs of becoming unwell to the time of his death.

My story tells the narrative of his end of life in their hands. The hands of the professional medical personnel, and care home management.

My story details the investigation I undertook in trying to get answers to concerns surrounding the last few hours of my fathers life.

And it explains my endeavours in bringing attention to deficiencies my father experienced within the health and care system in general.

"...until I get what I would consider to be sastisfactory answers to questions that are still outstanding for me, I shall not have closure."
