English: Thank you, acting Presiding Officer. I'd like to thank Jack Sargeant and the Petitions Committee for bringing this important petition to the floor of this Senedd today. I'd also like to thank all Members who've contributed to today's debate. Above all, though, I'd like to thank Rhian Mannings, chief executive and founder of 2 Wish, for tabling this petition, and for working so hard, over many months, which have included a global pandemic, to promote it. I know we've heard today Rhian's story that 2 Wish was set up by Rhian following the sudden death of her baby son George, a tragedy that was followed, just five days later, by the suicide of her husband Paul. It's hard for most of us to imagine the impact of the loss of her baby son and her husband on Rhian. I am personally in awe of the courage that has enabled her to come through such a devastating tragedy to work with such determination to prevent other families going through what she did. I very much welcome this petition we are debating today. I believe support for families who unexpectedly lose a child or young adult is crucial. Coping with the death of someone special is hard for anyone, but the impact of losing a child or young person is profoundly devastating. I know just how important the kind of support provided by 2 Wish has been for so many families. Their memory boxes at hospitals provide some comfort for families at the darkest time in their lives - a time that most have had no opportunity to prepare for. The ability to offer support shortly after the bereavement or whenever that support is needed, whether that is in six months, two years or longer, is an absolute lifeline for families. Grief is a very personal thing, it is not linear, and any support needs to reflect that. As the petition says,
Welsh: Diolch, Lywydd dros dro. Hoffwn ddiolch i Jack Sargeant a'r Pwyllgor Deisebau am gyflwyno'r ddeiseb bwysig hon ar lawr y Senedd heddiw. Hoffwn ddiolch hefyd i'r holl Aelodau sydd wedi cyfrannu at y ddadl heddiw. Yn anad dim, serch hynny, hoffwn ddiolch i Rhian Mannings, prif weithredwr a sylfaenydd 2 Wish, am gyflwyno'r ddeiseb hon, ac am weithio mor galed, dros fisoedd lawer, sydd wedi cynnwys pandemig byd-eang, i'w hyrwyddo. Gwn ein bod wedi clywed stori Rhian heddiw fod 2 Wish wedi'i sefydlu ganddi yn dilyn marwolaeth sydyn ei mab bach, George, trasiedi a ddilynwyd, bum niwrnod yn ddiweddarach, gan hunanladdiad ei gŵr, Paul. Mae'n anodd i'r rhan fwyaf ohonom ddychmygu effaith colli ei mab bach a'i gŵr ar Rhian. Yn bersonol, rwy'n synnu at y dewrder sydd wedi'i galluogi i oroesi trasiedi mor aruthrol ac i weithio mor benderfynol i atal teuluoedd eraill rhag mynd drwy'r hyn yr aeth hi drwyddo. Rwy'n croesawu'r ddeiseb hon rydym yn ei thrafod heddiw yn fawr. Credaf fod cymorth i deuluoedd sy'n colli plentyn neu oedolyn ifanc yn annisgwyl yn hanfodol. Mae ymdopi â marwolaeth rhywun agos yn anodd i unrhyw un, ond mae effaith colli plentyn neu unigolyn ifanc yn enbyd o ddinistriol. Gwn pa mor bwysig y bu'r math o gymorth a ddarperir gan 2 Wish i gynifer o deuluoedd. Mae eu blychau atgofion mewn ysbytai yn rhoi rhywfaint o gysur i deuluoedd ar yr adeg dywyllaf eu bywydau - adeg nad yw'r rhan fwyaf o bobl wedi cael cyfle i baratoi ar ei chyfer. Mae'r gallu i gynnig cymorth yn fuan ar ôl y brofedigaeth neu pryd bynnag y mae angen y cymorth hwnnw, boed ymhen chwe mis, dwy flynedd neu fwy, yn achubiaeth i deuluoedd. Mae galar yn beth personol iawn, nid yw'n llinellol, ac mae angen i unrhyw gymorth adlewyrchu hynny. Fel y dywed y ddeiseb,
