Please consider voting for me in the @iirta_tts election for Secretary-Treasurer. If successful I will be the only female Council member. I truly believe committees work best when their representation is diverse. A vote for me is a vote for inclusivity.

@stevenbrownART I ordered a picture back in Sept. Never delivered, you are ignoring my e mails and not answering my phone calls. Please get in touch.

Our son Harry - 13.5yrs old - but never allowed to forget running around @BBCBreakfast sofa @louiseminchin & @billtu. This year has been tough. Harry needs a 3rd liver transplant. Many organs are lost as families say no. Make sure you sign up to the register & #shareyourwishes

A Birmingham Children's Hospital tattoo! 😱🎈

Today is #NationalBereavedParentsDay. Surely that’s worth a stop-scrolling-and-read-this-post moment? Please? 💫

Talking about child loss is a completely normal daily occurrence in our family. Talking to a brother that is not there. Including a son in day to day life that isn’t seen. Carrying his ashes everywhere I go, in jewellery, wearing his handprint around my neck, never to be taken off.

But when I step outside my norm, I realise how un-normal these conversations and things can be seen as.
But why? Children die. Sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, cousins, nieces, nephews. Mothers, fathers. Grown up children. Children die everyday. And left behind are broken parents, bereft families, unsupported families, expected to adapt and bounce back.

This is NOT possible.

Child loss forever changes every single part of your life. Your thoughts, feelings, relationships. Your friendships, your work, your commitments. Your mental and physical health. Child loss causes estrangements. New and unexpected friendships/relationships. It evokes feelings that you didn’t know existed and would never have thought possible. It makes you question your very existence, and that of others. Every ounce of your being is tested. You are metaphorically broken into a million pieces and will never be put back together in the same way again. But you will go back together…in some way, at some point. It won’t be pretty and you won’t be how you were before. But this isn’t a bad thing…

Today, I want bereaved families to know that they’re not alone. To those that talk about it, that raise awareness, that fundraise/commemorate their children in their own way - I hope this brings comfort and peace.
To those that find it too challenging to openly talk, please know that you are not alone. Your feelings, your intrusive thoughts, your bitterness, anger, angst, sadness, relief. Your trauma and your existential grief. I relate. I empathise. I know. I really, really know. I’m there. Always.

Please, if you do one thing today to acknowledge National Bereaved Parent’s Day, give this a #share or #retweet. #repostit. If just one bereaved family can be offered a tiny amount of solidarity, hearing from another, then my post made a difference. People reaching out to me at my darkest time made more of a difference than they’ll ever know.

Thank you.
