'I had to say goodbye to my dying mum through a window because of lockdown rules'

mirror.co.uk:

A grieving daughter has told of how she couldn't see her dying mum during the last nine weeks of her life because of lockdown rules.

Lesley Irving, 41, is still struggling to coming to terms with the cruel loss of her mum Pauline, 72, after her rapid decline and death from pancreatic cancer in June.

The pain of losing her mum was exacerbated by strict lockdown rules which not only meant her treatment was cancelled but it stopped the doting daughter from visiting her in the hospice where she was cared for.

The lockdown even dictated Pauline's funeral, Daily Record reports. Pauline, from Largs in Ayrshire, had gone to the doctor in February as she had lower back pain.
