My nan: kindness was her politics

On Thursday, 15 January at 12:14 AM, my nan passed away.

She was admitted to Morriston Hospital on Tuesday morning with stomach pains.

She was immediately seen by medical professionals, who did everything they could to help her. But at 90 years old, with a weak heart further damaged by a cardiac arrest early on during her stay in hospital, they, along with us, her family, made the decision to stop all procedures, as continuing to do so would trigger another heart attack.

From that moment until her passing, my nan had round-the-clock care by the wonderful nurses, who ensured she was made comfortable, and made sure any family members who stayed by her side were given food, drink and a place to sleep throughout the night.
