Feedback “I felt that although they had been with us in our darkest hour, they had seen us at pour most vulnerable, they had seen our pain and sorrow perhaps even more than those close to us. I felt such a connection to them.” “I sometimes have to pinch myself to work out if I am in a hotel. The facilities and staff are so good.” “Thank you for helping me feeling better by the support you gave me. I was confused about my feeling but felt happy after a time.”
