Please explore this beautiful and deeply moving project that shares narratives of child loss. The silence surrounding this loss must change for those affected to be seen and heard.

❤️ Website: lnkd.in/gJDSiScF

Please share this conversation ❤️
#GriefSupport #ChildLossAwareness #MentalHealthSupport

A drawing of a hand holding a dandelion, with its seeds floating away, represents the loss of a child. Text of the title of the anthology is "Take The Love With You"

'Take The Love With You' is a collection of writing by 4 incredible women, each of whom has experienced the unimaginable loss of a child. It's a journey through grief and towards love - every page is filled with truth, clarity and the kind of unwavering courage that takes your breath away. Each word centres on the raw essence of feeling - grief, love and the hope of connection.

But this is more than just a book. It’s a call to action!
The silence surrounding the loss of a child must change. Families affected by child loss need to feel seen, heard, and supported in their grief. Talking therapies alone may not always suffice.

If you know someone impacted by the loss of a child, please share this conversation and these completely free resources. Even a small comment, a share, or a repost can amplify this vital message.

This project exists because Gaynor, Gill, Hayley, and Rachel wanted to create something to help other parents feel less alone.

It is for Gaynor, Gill, Hayley, and Rachel.
For Craig, Zachary, Ellis, and Erin.
May their voices sing forever from these pages.

Thank you for listening, reading, sharing, supporting, and spreading the word about this deeply powerful and completely free resource. Together, we can help break the silence and bring light to those navigating the darkness of loss.

Thanks, Sarah, I really appreciate the support! It was very hard to talk about a big project with a small word count! I will be happy to pass on any more information if needed :) Have a great Christmas!
