“She lived for her family and grandchildren, who brought her joy and miss her,” it read. It explained that the family made sure she took her medication, and everyone knew what was needed on each day by using a dosette box to organise what she took and when.
During the inquest, her daughter had questions for the coroner as to how an overdose could have occurred. “She [Grace] wanted to feel better. She did not expect all of this,” she said. “My concern, was it the dose, was it too high? I am very confused on why that happened.”
The court heard how Grace was feeling dizzy and struggling to breathe the day before her death and had called her GP surgery who advised her to ring 999. The family explained Grace was often reluctant to go to A&E due to long waiting times, which put her in significant discomfort.
