On return to office 2 more cases allocated to me and I'm playing catch up this week due to the snow last week when I had to cancel a day of visits and was unable to get hold of many people. Case load pressures are a constant feature of my work. Only a year or 2 ago there was an understanding in our team that we would only get 2 new cases in a week occasionally, whereas now it is the norm. Additional 2hr worrying time at night - I know I need to try and manage this unhelpful habit.

One of the lady service users within the lounge I work was also very poorly due to suffering a stroke the previous day. Her daughter was extremely distressed by this and required support. The daughter made the decision to leave as she was extremely frightened of having to watch her mum pass away. Spent time reassuring the daughter that I would ensure someone was with her. The lady passed away peacefully in the early hours of the next day. It was very difficult watching this lady's daughter basically fall to bits as she normally appeared strong.
