Tragedy

The death of Lynn Gilderdale surely came as a merciful release. My heart goes out to her for all she suffered for so many years.

I can not find it in my heart to condemn her Mum who had looked after her with love, care and devotion for long, long years. In fact, a big part of me guiltily admires her courage. Lynn's suffering is over, but Kay's still has a long course to run. She has been let free on bail so the Police surely don't consider her to be a risk to anyone. I just hope she has somewhere safe to go and grieve and where she will be understood, loved and supported.

Dear, loving Kay, my heart goes out to you. For a mother, there is nothing worse than watching a beloved child suffer. And you watched and tried to help, on your own, for 16 long years. Lynn was too ill and weak even to whisper how she was suffering, but you knew. And in the end, you sacrificed yourself to give her the peace and respite she wanted.
