Email to friends/colleagues, 12 Dec 2014:
I just wanted to share my sad news with you. You’ve probably heard why I’ve been off. Dad died in hospital last Thursday and Mum died in the early hours of today, having spent a week in a hospice surviving on just love, faith and fresh air.. I thought I would feel some relief when she died but I just feel shocked to my core; I wasn’t expecting to lose her, too, until about 10 days ago.
I’m organising a joint funeral, which is what they wanted, but have come back home for the weekend to sleep and grieve.
I do miss College and all the things I usually hate!
Love B xx
