Cause of death: NHS negligence.
Place of birth: Workington, Cumberland. (Now known as Cumbria.)
This is about my Mum (nee Wilson) and Dad, who were both buried in 2007. My Dad was the first to
pass away, on December 17th 2006. Although he was getting on in years, he had the will to live and
still lived at home with my Mum. They were fairly independant and had often said that they would
receive their telegrams from the Queen. This was not to be as my Dad was rushed to hospital when he
contracted septacemia, caused by an incompetent district agency nurse. He was taken to hospital on
October 17th, 2006. Whilst in there, he contracted the hospital infections, nosocomial pneumonia,
MRSA and C.diff. , all caused through lack of hygiene and filthy hospital conditions. We had to
watch him deteriorate in great discomfort and pain, it was heartbreaking. He died on December 17th,
6 days before his birthday. My Mum was absolutely devastated, she lost the will to live and I swear
she mentally died the same time as my Dad. Shortly afterwards, she became ill herself and passed
away on May 15th 2007, mostly of a broken heart. My parents were totally devoted to each other and
couldnt live without each other. In my opinion, the hospital are guilty of manslaughter - for both
of them. My heart is breaking too and I miss them so much. They were not just my parents, they were
my best friends and mentors. All I received from the hospital was a letter of apology. Saying sorry
did not bring them back. It does not justify their total negligence. My life has changed so much, I
am tormented by the unspeakable suffering they endured and guilt that I should have done something
to prevent what happened. To lose and bury both parents in the same year, five months apart was a
painful, double edged sword.

My Dad was a quiet, reserved, loving, caring and generous man who gave so much and took so little.
He was a true gentleman with impeccable manners and never complained. He even said 'Thank you' to
the nurses at the hospital (the hospital which caused his death) when they gave him painful
injections. He was amazing and always put his family before himself.

My Mum was a very caring, kind and considerate lady who absolutely adored children. She loved her
garden, plants and flowers and dedicated her married life to being a wife, Mother to three and a
homemaker. Later in life she became a Grandmother and Great-Grandmother to three. The youngest was
named Reggie after my Dad. He was born on my parents Diamond Wedding Anniversary.

My Mum and Dad had known each other and been together for 72 years. They were kind, loving - and
irreplaceable. Now reunited forever. Sleep peacefully, Mum and Dad xxx

MUM
A Wife, Mum, Nan, and great Nan too
This is the legacy we have from you.
You gave us love, you were always there,
You never failed to give us care.
You held our hands, you hugged us tight,
You kept us safe, by day and night.
A stronger person would be hard to find
And in your heart, you were always kind.
You fought for us all in one way or another,
Not just as a wife, or just as a Mother.
For all of us you gave your best,
Now the time has come for you to rest.
So go in peace, you’ve earned your sleep
Your love in our hearts, we’ll eternally keep.
DAD
Our relationship was special, Dad
I valued it with pride
But I never knew just how special
Until the day you died.
I remember all the fun times
That you and I have known,
But now that you have left this world
I just feel so alone.
Your photographs I look at
Time and time again,
For just a moment you are there -
But then returns the pain.
I will always have my memories,
They will go on and on,
But my life will never be the same
Now that you are gone.

Amazing grace, How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
The world shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun refuse to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Shall be forever mine.
When we have been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We have no less days to sing Gods praise
Than when we had first begun.

When Great Trees Fall
(Maya Angelou)
When great trees fall,
rocks on distant hills shudder,
lions hunker down
in tall grasses,
and even elephants
lumber after safety.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
When great trees fall
in forests,
small things recoil into silence,
their senses
eroded beyond fear.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
When great souls die,
the air around us becomes
light, rare, sterile.
We breathe, briefly.
Our eyes, briefly,
see with
a hurtful clarity.
Our memory, suddenly sharpened,
examines,
gnaws on kind words
unsaid,
promised walks
never taken.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Great souls die and
our reality, bound to
them, takes leave of us.
Our souls,
dependent upon their
nurture,
now shrink, wizened.
Our minds, formed
and informed by their
radiance,
fall away.
We are not so much maddened
as reduced to the unutterable ignorance
of dark, cold
caves.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
And when great souls die,
after a period peace blooms,
slowly and always
irregularly. Spaces fill
with a kind of
soothing electric vibration.
Our senses, restored, never
to be the same, whisper to us.
They existed. They existed.
We can be. Be and be
better. For they existed.

♥ Peace My Heart ♥
♥ Peace, my heart, let the time for the parting be sweet.
♥ Let it not be a death but completeness.
♥ Let love melt into memory and pain into songs.
♥ Let the flight through the sky end in the folding of the wings over the nest.
♥ Let the last touch of your hands be gentle like the flower of the night.
♥ Stand still, O Beautiful End, for a moment, and say your last words in silence.
♥ I bow to you and hold up my lamp to light your way.
♥ Rabindranath Tagore, Bengali poet and philosopher ♥

~ Snow ~
(Tessa Wilkinson)
The snow arrived unannounced.
It overwhelmed everything.
Changed the landscape so it was unrecognisable.
No one was prepared.
My grief feels like that snowstorm.
I feel changed, weighed down by the burden.
Trying to negotiate the new environment around me.
Not knowing where I am going.
Looking for familiar landmarks.
I feel cold and miserable and ill equipped in this new place unvisited before.
But I know in time the snow will melt and return the landscape to some semblance of normality.
And I know in time my grief will diminish and I will find my way forward again, back to a world that I recognise, changed, but familiar.
Spring does always come after winter and hope will return.

Magic Of A Rainbow
I'll never see a rainbow
That I won't think of you;
Though days seem bleak and dreary
The sun is shining through.
A symbol of God's love fulfilled
In beauty, hope and grace;
A rainbow is a mirror
Reflecting His own face.
It arches o'er the mountains
With Heaven its domain;
Its brilliant colors wakened by
The grayness and the rain.
Now may I see the rainbows sent
To ease my broken heart,
Promising His healing love,
Shine through when teardrops start.
Miraculous, magical rainbows,
Blessing the sadness with peace;
God gently smiling and touching,
Bidding the sadness cease.

Where Peace Flows Like a River.
Together we will journey
To that land up in the sky
Where the flame does burn eternal
And the soul does never die.
Where the harps are gently playing
As a host of angels sing
Where the road is paved with diamonds
And the golden bells do ring.
Where the path is set before us
Shining brightly as the sun
We will see the face of Jesus
When our final race is run.
Where the peace flows like a river
Winding through the streets of gold
We will dine with priests and prophets
When the key to life, we hold.
Where the flame does burn eternal
In that sacred Promised Land
Where God holds the gift of freedom
In the cleft of His right hand.
Where we'll see the face of loved ones
Long before us, gone away
What a day of sweet rejoicing
When we meet again someday.
Where we'll gather at the river
In our home up in the sky
Where the peace flows like a fountain
And the soul does never die.

♥ From Water Bug to Dragonfly ♥
(Tessa Wilkinson)
The bottom of the pond is muddy and dark
There is fear of the unknown
There is loneliness as things change
There is the desperation of being left behind
Not knowing, not understanding
Watching and waiting
Then the journey comes
Up the stem
What waits beyond?
Sunlight
Freedom
Dancing together in joy with those who went before
And who will come after.

♥ The Only Way ♥
(Tessa Wilkinson)
• The only way we can be protected from the pain of loss and the grief we feel, is by having never loved.
• How empty our lives would be, and what a lot of wonderful shared moments we would have missed, if we had not known.
• So, although what we feel at the moment is terrible, we must try to remember that it is because we have all been privileged to have known and loved, that we now feel the pain and sadness.
♥***♥***♥***♥***♥***♥***♥***♥***♥
Prayer of Faith.
We trust that beyond absence there is a presence.
That beyond the pain there can be healing.
That beyond the brokenness there can be wholeness.
That beyond the anger there may be peace.
That beyond the hurting there may be forgiveness.
That beyond the silence there may be the word.
That beyond the word there may be understanding.
That through understanding there is love.

Quietly I Weep
By Lyndie Sorenson
Although I seem to hide it
My sorrow's still so deep
Missing you in silence
Quietly I weep
I long to see your smile
Hear your laughter, hug you tight
But you're no longer with me
You've headed toward the light
I'm sure you are quite happy
Here on earth I miss you so
Asking that same question
Why was it you that had to go?
I am sure there is an answer...
One that might make sense
When others offer reasons
I'm just on the defence
If they could understand me
Know how hard life is with grief
Just hold my hand and listen...
That would be a great relief
Although I seem to hide it
My sorrow's still so deep
Missing you in silence...
Quietly I weep

♥ Only we who grieve ♥
♥ Tis only we who grieve
♥ They do not leave
♥ They are not gone
♥ They look upon us still
♥ They walk among the valleys now
♥ They stride upon the hill
♥ Their smile is in the summer sky
♥ Their grace is in the breeze
♥ Their memories whisper in the grass
♥ Their calm is in the trees
♥ Their light is in the winter snow
♥ Their tears are in the rain
♥ Their merriment runs in the brook
♥ Their laughter in the lane
♥ Their gentleness is in the flowers
♥ They sigh in autumn leaves
♥ They do not leave
♥ They are not gone
♥ tis only we who grieve.
