Pat P

"In all of married life, if all our married life, I hadn't seen my husband unclothed as much as I did in the last 18 months of his life"

Pat cared for her husband who died in July 2015. Pat's husband suffered from dementia and later got diagnosed with cancer.

Pat cared for her husband for many years until the end of his life, the physical demand on her was difficult but she wouldn't have had it any other way as the thought of having someone look after his wasn't worth thinking about.

In Pat's spare time when caring her main support was the carers group that she still attends today and she also loved and still loves to complete jigsaw puzzles.
