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

Hello everybody. @criminographer has taken a step back from administering CLIA due to the loss of beautiful Isabelle. 💙 But we just wanted to let everyone know that the CLIA drop in sessions on 30 October and 29 November will go ahead as planned. Please DM for the link.

[Child Loss in Academia Support @CLIA_Support]

Emily and I @thomasjkehoe1 formed this group a few years ago after communing over our shared sudden loss of young children. I and we the broader group are devastated to hear that Emily has lost Isabelle too. She is always in our hearts and I’ll eat ice cream for her today 💙

[Dr Emily Cooper @criminographer]

We are devastated to say that our beautiful Isabelle died in the early hours of this morning. We are absolutely broken. However, we want you all not to think of her death, but to honour her by living life as she did: fearlessly, joyously & spontaneously.

[Claire Carmalt @ClaireCarmalt]

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

[The Alder Centre @AlderCentre]

Thank you Gemma and Alder's Hidden Gems for another great session painting cats.
Every Tuesday from 5.30pm. contact us for more info
