Day 20 Capture Your Grief - Charities
There are a few charities who have touched my heart throughout this painful journey. When you're faced with such awfully deep sadness as we have been through, you find all these wonderful people who've not only been there before but are using their own grief to try to make things that little bit better for us all. Many heartfelt thanks to them all.
Snowdrop Appeal - Raised money for the cold cot Isla lay upon in hospital, that allowed us such precious time with our beautiful daughter. Now raising money for a separate room at Derriford for bereaved parents, which we are hoping to raise a lotof money for! http://snowdropappeal.webplus.net/
Saying Goodbye - the Exeter cathedral service which was just so very beautiful http://www.sayinggoodbye.org/
Aching Arms - What a beautiful sentiment, to receive a bear from another grieving mother to let you know you're not alone at such a sad time http://www.achingarms.co.uk/
Upon Butterfly Wings - Lovely gifts for bereaved parents from Bobby's Beanies http://www.uponbutterflywings.org/p/bobbys-beanies.html
Fifth Disease - An Irish charity dedicated to raising awareness of Slapped Cheek / Parvovirus B19 / Fifth Disease. They sent me a load of fliers which I have given to the head of midwifery at Derriford hospital and will be sending to all child centres, GP offices and play groups in the city hopefully. Awareness will hopefully mean no other babies need die from this little-known but deadly virus. http://www.fifthdisease.org/
