Sending all our love and support to all Dad's today and every day.

What Olly Dad to Poppy and Dottie says here feels very apt to share today on Fathers Day.

It's ok to not be ok
it's ok to ask for help and support
and it's ok to mention your baby, babies, child or children's name

Excerpt from podcast episode 18 Red Balloons with Bereaved Dad Liam Walsh.

In January 2020, Liam Walsh's 15-year old son Patrick went to a football game with his brother and never came home. He collapsed as they dashed for the last train out of Marylebone and died, suddenly, unexpectedly and still, without cause. 😞💔

'Red Balloons' book traces the last months, and enduring the next ones. 

In our latest episode, Liam discusses writing, running, and family life after loss.

Search bereaved parents club on any podcast platform or visit our website bereavedparentsclub.org.uk to find the episode listing.

This episode is dedicated to Patrick 💙

Really useful post for parents navigating the loss of their child.

I’ve been seeing the words KEEP GOING everywhere lately. It feels like one of those times where the universe is trying to tell me something, or maybe it’s just exactly what my own heart has needed to hear.

Last night in my Living With Grief community, I talked about how easy it is to get caught up in the mundane, day-to-day routine. When you’re carrying the weight of child loss, that repetitive daily grind of survival or just going through the motions can make grief feel so much heavier and harder to carry.

So this is my reminder to do what we do best. Focus on putting one foot in front of the other. Even when you're unsure if you're on the path or headed in the right direction.

Just keep going.

Don't focus on the destination or worry that you aren't where you think you should be. There is purpose in each step, even if we don't always see it or understand it.

Just focus on taking the next step. Do the next right thing for you, whatever that looks like in the moment.

And remember... it's OK to rest. It's OK to take a break. It's OK to say "No" and disappoint the people in your life. And it's NOT selfish to put yourself first.

These are the things we need to do so that we can keep going.

Trust the process, and trust that you will be OK. You don't have to have it all figured out. You just have to take the next step and keep going. You're never alone as you do. ❤

Gracie Nicola's daughter and Laura's sister now works for and supports bereaved siblings like herself

Nicola highlights in the clip how we need to recognise the devastating impact of sibling loss and be better at talking and supporting bereaved siblings.

Sibling relationships are the ones you would expect to last the longest. To mature and grow old together.

The relationships where you are the holder of your siblings secrets, hope and dreams of their future and can support each other in the most testing times as you journey through life.

Yet it gets hidden and forgotten about and needs recognition and support

What a powerful visual message this is.

A powerful visual display of children's shoes in Parliament Square calling for better support for bereaved parents.
