“I wouldn’t have missed this for the world”
Concerts for Older People in Wales
“One of our patients has recently been bereaved and critically ill herself and at times lost the will to live. At the end of the concert she whispered to me “I wouldn’t have missed this for the world.” There was singing and feet tapping even in quite depressed clients."
