Breakfast on BBC Radio Leeds

In a touching edition of the diary, Andrew describes the death of his partner’s Mum from Covid-19 in their sitting room. With his own Mum's continuing decline, as her dementia worsens, he considers ‘a good death’. He also pays tribute to the nurses, carers and night sitters who enabled Liz to die with her family at her bedside. Mum and Me: The Dementia Diary was originally broadcast on BBC Radio Leeds.
