Their story
The practical work includes meals, medication reminders and staying alongside a loved one in hospital. Armany describes choosing to become involved after seeing how frightening an admission could be, especially when the patient faced it alone.
She also speaks about having to advocate persistently when departments do not communicate or staff rely on general assumptions about sickle cell. Her account makes the emotional labour of caring visible alongside the patient’s experience.
