So sorry to hear about the loss of precious DJ. X

Really pleased to be delivering 2 sessions @ the ISPID conference this week. Details are below for anyone interested in hearing about what bereaved families want and need from professionals during the investigation into their child's death. Register here: ispid2025houston.com

"I'm going to write the names of everyone in our house. These are the name of those who have died. I'm going to draw a bow for Isabelle & sunglasses for Alexander". This is sibling loss. Moments that break you but also make your heart burst that they include them ❤️💙 #childloss

Yesterday I had the best gift. I was going through my voice recorder files and found one I didn't know I had that had captured "Hi Mummy" from beautiful you, Alexander. I didn't have that on camera, and it was so so special to hear it again. 🌎❤️ #grief #childloss

It's been such a lovely sunny week to welcome all our new students to the University - showing off its new name. We wish all of you all the success in the world! #Freshers2025

Thank you everyone. Video was made by a kind stranger x

Today, we remember your beautiful, joyful life, Isabelle. X m.youtube.com/watch?v=22jp...

These were the last photos I took of Isabelle on this day last year. I heard a shuffle and a giggle and she had managed to squash herself into the baby's car seat. Our sunshine, our laughter, our excuse to be silly at all times. #grief #childloss

Sign of a good night!

Quite something isn't it? 😅

In a whole month,and particularly this week of hell, for our family, little moments that make you laugh become even more important. I hope the baby's spectacular bed hair from her first sleepover at nanny and grandad's also cheers up your day. X #grief #childloss #dailyjoy

Isabelle was also 2.5 when she died. X

I'm so sorry you know this pain. I'm glad my words resonate. Sending love. X

❤️

It's September tomorrow Isabelle. Now a month that will always be the most precious memories of the last holiday we cherished together - and the month we had to say goodbye. Minute by minute we take it, but some days even that feels excruciating. We love you. X

Your arrival brought joy at a time when we never thought we could feel any again. It still takes my breath away that you're both gone. It's impossible. Unfair. It feels like it's happening to a parallel version of me but at the same time I feel your loss in every cell #grief #childloss

Gorgeous. Thank you.we have these x

We have so much more to say from this study, but it is an honour to share some of the first findings and to have worked with the courageous families who took part (and those who supported). In memory of all our beautiful children. #sudc #childloss

Needs and experiences of families after a sudden unexplained death in childhood: a qualitative study - PubMed Every family must receive swift, proactive, knowledgeable communication from professionals, during and beyond the investigation into their child's sudden unexpected death. This will help them through ...

So many emotions sharing this, but here is the 1st paper from the study I did with Dr Jo Garstang, Dr Nikki Speed & Jon Holmes, published in BMJl (Paediatrics). It centres on what families want & need from professionals after their child's sudden, unexplained death pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40850909/

We completed a charity walk this time last year for our beautiful Alexander. Isabelle and F did a spontaneous dance on the comedy carpet in Blackpool to celebrate the end. I've been trying to show F more videos as he's been struggling with his grief. How we miss her. X #childloss

Thank you for thinking of them x

Today, I found them sat in Isabelle's room reading some of her books. A beautiful peaceful moment that made my heart burst and break at the same time. X #grief #childloss #siblingloss

In the midst of grief, we still ride on and smile. I chose his t shirt as it reminded me of Isabelle. Alexander really enjoyed funfair rides and Isabelle was fearless on them. We keep them in our hearts and live for them as joyfully as we can. #grief #childloss #summerholidays

My beauty. Scoffing apples like she always did. The face she's pulling is so representative of her personality. Always ready to make you laugh, by saying or doing something cheeky or unexpected (usually both). How we miss her and ache for her these holidays. X #grief #childloss

My phone memories are so hard. She had fallen asleep watching CBeebies on this day last year. I watched her for ages. She looked so content. We had such a lovely summer together despite all the worrying. #grief #childloss

Love you darling girl ❤️

One year ago we were discharged from hospital after a bout of stomach illness, feeling wobbly. I replay every second in my head. Every email, every time I begged for a proper care plan. For next time. How I wish I was hearing her feet pattering down corridors. #grief #childloss

A moment of peace yesterday. I was able to look at this photo and just have fond memories of Isabelle. She also loved Pingu and pizza. They would no doubt be fighting over both by now and I'd be enjoying every second of the holidays with them. X #grief #childloss

Our beauty. You had so many more parks to visit. So many more balloons to steal & pop. Your joy & mischief just oozes from every photo. I can feel a grief hole looming as we approach your death anniversary. Hear every plea I made to the drs. Question if I could've shouted louder.

Thanks for finding me againx
