“Each death has its own alchemy.”

My new ABC Long Read explores what it really means to die well — and why death might be the last thing we truly learn to do

thank you 🙏 for reading

Sofia was 8 when she died. Her parents had no roadmap — just pain, confusion & love.

In Australia 1000s of families w terminally ill children are left to cope without adequate palliative care.

I wrote this story to expose how the system can do better:

Oh god no.

This story is actually quite a beautiful one - although it’s hard 💔

Administering palliative care for dying children A national action plan aims to provide care and comfort for all children with terminal illness, and to ease the isolation their families still face.

My first story for @thesaturdaypaper.com.au is out today.

It’s about Simon, his beloved 4yo son Marmaduke & paediatric palliative care in Australia—what works, what’s broken & why we must do better.

Thanks to all who shared their expertise & hearts 💔

Bree and her child thought they would end up on the street. Broke and out of options.

The ACT Rent Relief Fund saved them.

That fund was Quietly axed on July 4. Just $1.7M a year.
💔 Hundreds helped. Now—nothing.

My family lost a baby at Auschwitz. I can’t see how our child is any different from those being killed in Gaza.

One of the most personal things I’ve ever written — about grief, conscience, and complicity.

“ADHD stole our sleep — and nearly our sanity.”

In this Kidspot piece, I spoke to families pushed to the brink by the brutal impact of ADHD-related sleep issues.

Topsy turvy when some of the most accurate & poignant commentary comes from a spoof website.

However, I personally value The Betoota Advocate mob for shining a light on the profound hypocrisies here.
