This is Greg talking about grief and #NationalGriefAwarenessWeek on ITV this morning. He puts it perfectly - we need to learn to be more adult when it comes to talking about death. Don’t shy away from those who are grieving, give them a call, ask what they need! #GregWise

My experience is very similar to BRYCE!! in that often all we could do was hold one another. 17 years later we can cherish her memory with #ASmileForFaye

So poignant - I too would give everything back to have another moment with my daughter. The duality of grief is that I am doing #ASmileForFaye even though my heart is breaking #griefawarenessweek

Join me in smiling in memory of Faye for The Compassionate Friends UK #ASmileForFaye And if you’d like to donate please head to tcf.org.uk/inmemory/Smile…… Smile, post, share, donate if you can to honour my beautiful daughter’s 21st

I shall be donating and including this photo of Faye during her last Christmas with us. She should have been 21 on Christmas Eve #ASmileForFaye

The loss of my daughter isn’t even mentioned in my medical records!! That needs to change

Thankyou Hannah Ingram-Moore for opening & supporting this year’s #NationalGriefAwarenessWeek campaign. We share your passion to try & help us all better understand the needs of those grieving & offer hope for a way forward with our lives. #Spreadsomewarmth

When you’re bereaved of a child it’s important to be kind to yourself. Be realistic about what works for you & find time for grieving as well as time for everyday activities that you find helpful. Read more for guidance on things that can help: ow.ly/7BSP50Cdhk3 #NGAW21

A wonderful scheme. So sad that it’s needed
