When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die. Supporting families is about listening and helping families to find their own solutions and to take control. We know that dealing with this alone is difficult.
Sharing can make all the difference.
The Group has a trained and experienced Family Support Co-ordinator, Susan Green, who has developed the service in the last eight years. We know that this is only the start of a journey and have set up our service so that regular contact can be maintained and families do not have to feel isolated and alone. Over the years we have handled an increasing number of calls, and sent out an ever increasing amount of information packs to families and to the professional working with them. During the years a number of our children and young people have died. We know that to acknowledge death is important and we continue to support families in their bereavement and for as long as they feel is necessary.
