Mum, 22, died after being told to 'get on with it'

A young mum who was often told to "just get on with it" died after a sudden asthma attack.

Amy Greenwood, of Skelmersdale, was just 22 when she was found unconscious by her fiancé, not breathing, after she suffered a sudden and unexpected asthma attack. Despite CPR and ventilation attempts, a heart-breaking decision was made to turn off her life support the following day in October 2022.

Having suffered from asthma all her life, being "in and out of hospital", her loving family are urging people to take the life-threatening illness seriously. Amy, who was a mum of two young children, would be "completely fine" one minute, but the next would find herself "fighting for breath".
