I personally know the heartbreak that comes when a parent loses a child,it is heartbreaking,devastating,the worst thing in the world and it feels like someone has ripped out your heart,stamped all over it and you will never ever be the same again.
Some of your friends and even family stop talking to you,cross the road rather than stop and speak to you,so you not only lose your child but you can lose family,friends, and really, you lose life the way you knew it.
The Angel Children team would like to change that,well maybe not change,but bring a little comfort or a smile or two in the face of the grief you are suffering. We will choose two bereaved parents each month from all nominations entered which can be male or female as the bereaved dads out there need a little comfort too.
We are now taking nominations from the public, so if you know of a bereaved parent get your nomination in.
Start date for nominations : August 16th 2012
End Date for nominations : September 16th 2012
All you need to do is nominate a bereaved Mum or Dad that you think deserves a little comfort,tell us a little of why you think your nominee should be given a comfort box above other nominees.The rules are simple your nominee must be resident in the UK as at this moment in time Angel Children only support bereaved families in the UK.There is no age limit on this so your nominee could be grieving loss through miscarriage, still birth,toddler,young child/teenager or young adult. PLEASE NOTE: You can not nominate yourself.
We understand all bereaved parents deserve a little comfort and would love to give to them all,but we can't,but just to bring comfort to even some would all be worth it. As we already provide most parents with a mini headstone or memorial plaque to mark the child's resting place we thought it would be nice just to offer a lovely comfort box as a way of showing we care.

I would like to nominate my sister Stephanie, in January she gave birth to her second set of healthy twins, two girls to go with her two boys(age 6). In May Stephanie found her youngest baby Jessica had passed away from cot death aged just 14 weeks. Since then Steph (and Daddy Jonny) has continued to care for her other 3 children despite her own feelings of guilt, grief and sadness. She is a selfless, strong woman who I have so much respect for.
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to all the families who have lost children. No pain is worse. <3
Thank you for your nomination Laura x
