I had a small medical procedure yesterday and was asked to name my next of kin or my emergency contact and it suddenly hit me that after loosing my husband and two friends to Covid and more recently my son to cancer that I'm totally alone. It didn’t help when the nurse questioned my response saying surely I had someone to call on!
