The devastating loss of a sibling is often given little recognition,in spite of the fact that it should be the longest, most enduring relationship of your life
I’m v proud of Gracie for turning her own grief into something helpful & positive #SiblingLoss

Lovely in person meet up of @CLIA_Support today. It helps enormously to be able to talk with people who understand completely, to talk through how we are feeling, share experiences & talk about our much missed children. We raised our ice creams to our lovely children ♥️ #grief

This is a beautiful poem 🧡
I missed you quietly today. So quietly that no one noticed.
I missed you as I climbed out of bed and as I brushed my teeth; when I waited at the lights on the drive into work and as I heard the rain outside my window.
I missed you as I ordered lunch and as I kicked off my shoes when I got home; as I switched off the lights and climbed into bed for the night.
I missed you without tears or noise or fanfare.
But oh how I felt it.
I felt it in the morning, at lunchtime, in the evening and at night. I felt it as I woke, as I waited, as I worked. I felt it at home, on the road, in the light, in the dark, in the rain.
I felt it in every one of those moments, each one sitting heavier and heavier as the weight of me missing you kept growing and growing.
Yes, I missed you so quietly today.
But I felt it so loudly.

It's international #BereavedParentsDay. But every day is a struggle without our precious children. I wonder every day what would he be like? Would he be interested in the election? What would his friendship with F be now? It's agony for me as a Mum not to know him as a 6 year old
