Support
There is a range of support you can access to help with your loss. We’re all individual and unique so it’s not a case of one glove fits all. I personally found that attending a support group helped me to identify that I was not the only one this happened to. The Milton Keynes Bereaved Parent Group offered me a safe and warm place to be where I was able to talk about Harry without question, cry and even laugh without feeling conscious. www.mbpg.co.uk


I’m Harrys mummy. Harry died when he was 5 years old very unexpectedly. It was 10 years ago in March 2019. Is that relevant? I’m not sure! Every year following his death is the same. The numbness that has set in starts to lift and I feel it again.
As time has gone on I have morphed into who I am now; not the old ‘me’ and not the one who takes over to carry me when I enter the depths of despair, over and over again, year in year out.
Following Harry’s death I quickly discovered the lack of bereavement support that existed in our area. Being a proactive person I sought help very early on, wanting to adopt any way possible to ensure Harry’s twin sister Jessica was supported .
