Who you're helping by your fundraising efforts

The older you get you're more likely to encounter loss, divorce, grief - losing two sons it just floored me.

Grief is something that is like an unwanted visitor in your house. In addition to what I was going through, I'm also caring for me dad. He's now 96 and has Alzheimers. You cannot help someone else if you are in pieces.

Age UK gave me the support to be able to deal with it. It was the beginning of my journey back.

I do have bad days, even if you shed a tear it's not unhealthy but you move forward because that unimaginable pain is not there anymore. Life goes on but you have to decide...to live."
