Studying each of her children in turn, I decided I’d give it a go, for their sake. A heavily sedated mother was really no mother at all, and I felt they needed a mother desperately, each in their own special way.

Dear God, I thought, as I watched Toby bouncing on the end of the bed and the girls chatting animatedly about yesterday’s outing. Is that why I’m here?

Grant brought in a fresh change of clothes for me that afternoon, when he returned with the children for a second visit. He told me he’d got rid of the ones I’d been wearing when the lightning struck.

‘They were all burned, Mummy,’ Nicole told me, her eyes as large as saucers as she remembered the incident.

‘And your shoes were melted,’ Toby added. ‘I carried them to the ambulance for you, but they were squished.’

I didn’t want to dwell on the horrible reality of Lauren’s burns, which I now believed had actually killed her.

‘Don’t forget I still haven’t been given the all-clear from Dr Shakir,’ I reminded them gently.
