Coming to Dove House was like a breath of fresh air, I could relax and I could finally see my grandkids. They are the light of my life and not being able to see them for five weeks was far too long. In hospital I had to have one designated person who would visit and having two daughters that felt like an impossible choice. It was a lot of pressure and responsibility to put on just one person as she would have to relay all of the information to the rest of my family. At Dove House I didn’t have to choose, everything was much easier.
The atmosphere at Dove House is so welcoming and everyone that visited was made to feel welcome, especially the little ones. They were free to be themselves just like they would be if they were visiting me at home, it was that little bit of normal for them and for me. One of my Grandkids even made me a card and I was able to have it on my sunny windowsill.
