Get • When someone you love is in hospital, it can be hard to know how to help.

For the family on the inside, life often feels like it has been turned upside down. They are trying to understand medical language, adjust to changed routines, manage fear and exhaustion, and somehow keep the outside world moving too.

Work. Finances. Other children. Washing. Meals. The house. The messages. The mental load is huge.

If you want to support a family in hospital, practical help can mean everything. Flowers are beautiful, but so is taking the bins out, doing a school pickup, dropping off a meal, cleaning the house, or sending a coffee voucher with no expectation to reply.

Often, the most meaningful support is not the grand gesture. It is the quiet, practical kindness that helps life keep going when everything feels hard.

And one little tip about flowers, always check first. In many children’s critical care areas, flowers are not allowed in rooms, so your thoughtful gift might be better spent on something more useful like coffee, food, parking, or a small treat.

Medical parents, what helped you most during a hospital stay?

So proud of my mum and her incredible new book - Do Not Forget Me Street- she not only writes about her difficult beginnings, growing up in Budapest during the Holocaust, but has researched and endeavoured to shine a light on “good people in bad times” - messages that are more important now than ever before

Flu protection just got easier (and less stressful) for your little ones. 🙌⁣

⁣
It’s available for free now through GPs, pharmacies, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Controlled Health Services and other community immunisation providers.⁣

Don’t forget, good hygiene habits like washing hands, covering coughs and sneezes, and staying home when sick all help reduce the spread of the flu. But for the best protection, get yourself and your children vaccinated. 💪⁣
