Diary written by Benjamin Bloomfield Trench which documents his wife's death. Within the diary Benjamin records her last words, visits from her family, breaking the news to his daughters and her funeral.
One exchange Benjamin recorded shows that Dora Trench knew her death was imminent 'When I came upstairs after dinner she said. "Come & sit near me, we shall not have more evenings together' I asked if she felt worse or had been in pain. She said "No I feel my end is near".'
