As always at this time of year, I'm thinking about everyone who is missing their loved ones.

Bereavement exists whatever day it is. Be kind to yourselves and let someone you know who has been bereaved that you are thinking of them. #BereavedAtXmas

[Tim Underwood @TimTheSurgeon]

I am a surgeon operating on people with cancer. I, and all my family have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, so have all my colleagues. We know from the very strong science that it is simply the right thing to do. #GetVaccinatedNow

[The Compassionate Friends UK @TCFcharityUK]

These beautiful words seem especially appropriate just now for bereaved parents and their families 💜

[The Loss Project @TheLossProject1]

It's #ChristmasEve and there's only one more sleep until the big day. This can be a really exciting but also overwhelming time.

Yesterday was mum's birthday. Dad is in a care home. He has dementia and following a stroke has all but lost his speech. Mum visited him yesterday and as she left the care home, the manager handed her an envelope. inside was a card which said Happy Birthday to my wife 1/2

[SheffieldCancerMafia @shefcancermafia]

@StGilesEngage A little kindness goes a very long way.

Claudia’s huge collection of books was brought to her incredible funeral. Everyone was invited to choose a book (or several!) to take home with them 📚

Mother's Day can be so difficult if you don't have a mum in your life.

If you know someone who has lost their mum, reach out to them today.

[Sheffield Health and Care Partnership @SheffieldHCP]

Diagnosing and treating cancer remains a top priority for the NHS. If you notice any unusual symptoms that last for more than a couple of weeks, no matter how mild, contact your GP straight away.

Early diagnosis and treatment of cancer can save lives.
