Together in grief conference

Together in Grief 💛

Last week, Brian House Children’s Hospice and the Linden Centre hosted our Together in Grief conference - a reflective day focused on understanding how the death of a child affects families, and how we can better support children and young people through grief.

With one eye on Brian House’s 30th anniversary, the event brought together professionals from healthcare, education and the arts to explore compassionate communication, resilience‑building activities, cultural perspectives on grief, and the importance of self‑care for those supporting bereaved families.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the day so meaningful. Together, we’re building a more informed and compassionate community for grieving children and families.

8 Things People Don't Tell You About Grief from

10/03/2026

So beautiful from ❤️😇 Angels are Near 😇❤️..........
Every morning begins the same
a quiet pause before the day starts
like opening a small door
inside my heart
I step gently into a memory
where you are still smiling
standing in soft sunlight
like nothing ever changed
Sometimes it’s your laugh
echoing through the kitchen
sometimes it’s your voice
calling my name from another room
The world outside continues
cars passing, phones ringing
but for a moment
everything slows down
I sit beside that memory
the way someone sits by a flower
careful not to disturb it
just grateful it still blooms
Then the moment closes
and the day moves forward again
but I carry that visit with me
like a warm light in my pocket
Because missing you
is something I practice gently
every single day
