A mum has turned her entire living room wall into a photo montage to remind her family of happier times in a bit to help them cope with Covid trauma. Louise Whapshott, 46, and her family had a tough time, with her husband Martin, 49, ending up on the high dependency unit back in April 2020 due to the virus.
Her children, Corbin, 16, and Eva, 14, both still suffer with long Covid and chronic fatigue since catching the virus at school in late 2020. Head groundsman Martin's father, Jim Whapshott, 77, died after catching the virus in his care home in Crondall, Surrey, in April 2020.
Lou wanted to celebrate the special memories the family made together before the pandemic to remind them all better days are coming. She spent six hours wallpaper pasting an entire wall with 700 black and white individual photos of special memories and sealing them with a clear varnish.
