My despair as I watched Dad die

-

DANIELLE Kerstein says the guilt of helplessly watching her father die is “destroying” her.

The 60-year-old felt “absolute devastatio­n” when she lost her father Walter, 84, on April 5.

Walter had dementia for two years and Danielle, concerned about the lack of contact in his care home, left a camera device in his room.

Danielle, of Ilford, East London, saw staff without PPE – before it became mandatory.

She added: “I was literally watching my dad die and could do nothing about it. The guilt of that is destroying me.”
