CARERS IN TOUCH

When Dorothy Collins found love second time around, she couldn’t believe her luck. She married second husband John after a whirlwind romance in 2015, nine years after losing her first husband. But her world was shattered last May when John fell and broke his arm and quickly became seriously ill. He died a short time later and his death has left Dorothy heartbroken again. However, Dorothy has joined the Forget Me Not group to share support with people who understand. “Losing John was a huge blow after such a short but happy marriage,” says Dorothy. “I still talk to John’s photo and when I feel sad, I try to remember the happy times we shared.”
