I know it was expected but it is still sad, a great loss to the acting profession. She and Timothy West are irreplaceable.Prunella Scales has died.
Aw, sad about this. I was so sad when Tim West died. He seemed to care for her so well. 93 is a good age but dementia is a b.
I know ,I think the stress is too much especially if they are both elderly.I used to work in elderly care and it's horribly often that the "carer" dies before the person with dementia does. The stress of it is unimaginable.
My grandma died not long after my grandads diagnosis. At first he could grasp that she wasn’t coming back, but it’s now at the stage where he’s asking for her pretty much hourly.I used to work in elderly care and it's horribly often that the "carer" dies before the person with dementia does.

Obviously we can’t keep putting him through the emotional distress of telling her she’s died, so we’re constantly making excuses like ‘she’s at the shop, she’s out for lunch with her book club, she’s gone to see xyz’.

It’s agonising watching him go through it, and knowing there’s nothing that’ll fix it is even worse.
