@PoppyNoor @LydiaGoldblatt Wow ❤️ I lost my daughter Margot at one day old and this piece resonated so much to me in so many ways I was nodding along throughout as I read it- thank you for writing it to honestly and what a way to honour Mo and all he continues to teach and bring you. X

@uk_theatre @FreelancersMake @bushtheatre @finborough And @painesplough ! Just shouting out the companies that support these writers in their early careers alongside the venues!

@AllisonPearson You can admire the NHS for what it did/does and also recognise where negligence has happened and ask to be compensated for that. One does not cancel out the other. I have no allegiance to her in any way but am someone who values the NHS and has also suffered at its negligence.

@drkeithsiau @aleaiactaestphi Oh what a shame you held your hands up then undermine it with a comment like this. I am part of the baby loss a c section would have saved my baby gang -I gave you the benefit of the doubt when you recognised it was more nuanced than your original message now only to read this!

Just found an old spreadsheet I made to rotate care of mum with my brother & sister. I had named the file ‘best mama ever.’We never got to use it as she went to hospice way before. I wonder if one day it will feel real to me that she’s gone because my brain still can’t accept it.

@criminographer It’s amazing you did this &that he saw Isabelle -I am more than sure he will cherish that in years to come and that it will help him heal. So many hide it away from children which I understand-but it is a gift you were able to support him to do what he wanted to in that moment xx
