When Ada was stillborn the hospital staff gave us a Sands - baby loss charity 💙🧡 pack with lots of useful information about what to do & our rights, but very little about grief itself. We hope this booklet helps fill this gap. Please share 🙏

I find this concept unbearably moving. So many people who I no longer speak to or see for whatever reason who I still carry with me in how I dress, what I listen to, the slang I use, the morals I try to live by. How porous we are, how infinitely influential!

Same here! Looking forward to a great Congress in Helsinki and seeing everyone again

Huge appetite from the groups to discuss openly and address their curiosity. Feedback very positive 👍

Fantastic to see this hopeful change. It would have undoubtedly helped me age 15 when my dad died, if we all learnt and spoke about grief at school (including the teachers). Fingers crossed it makes it into the final curriculum.

Flew back from work and so wanted to get home for kids' bedtime. Apple Central Taxis were an hour and a half late 😑 Never again!

Responses to this tweet are fascinating.
Welcome to our #EoLCare world, Sam. Only difference is that our patients aren't going to 'code.' They are usually experiencing the process of ordinary dying. Their invisible visitors offer great consolation.
