DAD deteriorated over the space of 13 months. It went on for so long I felt like I’d started grieving before he’d gone. I was put in touch with one of the Family Support team, Jane.

“I could call her and tell her how I was feeling. She would relax my mind. You know your parents are going to go before you, but not when you’ve just come out of your teenage years.

“Jane told me there weren’t many 22-year-olds who would be as hands-on as I was, who’d put work aside and just care for their dad. She was my rock.”

After being diagnosed with a brain tumour, Isobel’s dad Stephen was cared for by St Clare Hospice’s Hospice at Home team.

Isobel shared her dad’s story with us and spoke about the difference the Hospice’s Patient and Family Support Services team made when she was navigating the end of her dad’s life.
