Cancelling Mum's paper draws an emotional line under 2020

Available for over a year

In this new year edition, Andrew looks back on a year which started with a visit to hospital and ended with Mum calm but a shadow of her former self. A trip to the newsagent's ends up being more emotional than he bargained for. He cancels her newspaper after finally acknowledging to himself that Mum no longer picks up a paper or magazine, never mind reads one. Mum and Me: The Dementia Diary was originally broadcast on BBC Radio Leeds.
