SickKids Foundation family fund for innovation in patient & family-centered care, education & research, patient safety, palliative care. Tweets by Sasha's dad.
5 days ago one of my students ended her own life.
She had been struggling with her mental health for a while, but the social isolation and loss of her support network proved to be too much.
I am very, very sad.
Powerful and lyrical account by one #bereaved#mom about living with her child's absence. We felt a crushing sadness when Sasha's mobile was thrown out by mistake 12 years after her death https://t.co/sGVmZHRYxN
Please take a moment to read and consider signing this petition calling upon the House of Commons to advocate for and improve bereavement care in this country
