Words matter.
And so does the compassion with which we use them.

What a magnificent and generous piece from a bereaved, insightful mother.

223 admissions to children’s hospitals in one week related to the flu.

Typically, this number would be between 8-10 children a week at this time of year.

Children’s hospitals were not built to meet this level of demand.
