Another one with tears in her eyes. And how lovely to hear of a hospital putting a patient's needs above "cleanliness", "health and safety" etc. Tissues here too please.

 

[Spit That Out]

Choked but how nice the hospital respected her wishes to say goodbye. I hope I will be as lucky. What a darling pair of horses.

It made me cry too. What a gorgeous photo.

My friend died of cancer and we weren't even allowed to take flowers onto the ward for risk of germs. Hats off to the hospital.

Totally beautiful !!!

 

[twiggy2]

As it should be, the dying should be respected and choose how to spend their final days.

well done to the staff for making this happen.

 

[Greylegs]

Deeply moving story. Glad the hospital made such an effort for this lady. Thanks for sharing.

Such a lovely photo. What a lovely gesture of the hospital to allow her a final goodbye but at the same time so heartbreakingly sad.
My glasses have fogged up and I'm reaching for the tissues big time.

I read that the week before they let her see one of her dogs and then this week two of her horses - it's a story I keep coming upon today on the various news pages/web and makes me well up every time. It is the thought of that last breath of your horse on your face and getting to get that scent of them again in your nose.

 

[Cobiau Cymreig Wyllt]

So lovely. Hope it brought her much peace and joy in her final hours. I know I would want this to happen and it's fantastic that people worked together to make this happen. RIP Sheila.

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Couldn't get to read all of the article without crying. Hats off to the staff and all involved for arranging it.

 

[Kikke]

So lovely! I had to wipe away the tears while reading it to my hubby. I hope she is resting peacefully now.

Another person with a box of tissues here, so glad that the human touch remains
