Most nights, just before bed, my 3yr old gets tearful & says 'I don't want to die'. At first, I was thrown. But after some exploring, we're having really thoughtful conversations. With all taboos there's a hump to get over but there's gold on the other side.

Today we are thrilled to welcome our new volunteer Emma Foster, to The Good Grief Trust Emma, is a bereaved parent & a valued member of our All Party Parliamentary Group on Bereavement Support. She will be helping us move forward our work UK Parliament Tobias Ellwood MP #BetterTogether
