People's One More Minutes

Please share your #OneMoreMinute. It could be a video of yourself, a picture of the person you are remembering, or just a few words - everyone's experience of grief is unique to them. Please join the conversation and together let's get more people talking about bereavement.

#OneMoreMinute if I had one more minute with my mum I would tell her that every time I make a decision I ask myself “what would mum do” and so far the last 5 Year’s decisions have been some my best ones. Because mum always knows 😘😘

When Seb died friends and family struggled knowing what to say to us. Some people still do. Don’t be one of those people. #OneMoreMinute https://t.co/0G7Q75eX3b

I lost my friend and my 7yr old godfather suddenly on the 4/12. Wednesday my boy broke down at school because he started to day dream about his uncle mark. Im sure he would just want to cuddle him if he had #OneMoreMinute

Grieving for a child of any age

The agony of losing a child of any age is unparalleled. There is no age or point in time that makes it any easier. No parent expects to face the death of their child and no grandparent expects to lose their grandchild.
When a grandparent dies

The death of a grandparent is often a child or young person’s first encounter with the death of someone important. Parents have a great deal to manage when their own parent or carer dies. There is the grief associated with their own loss, but also the reactions and responses of their children to the death of a grandparent.
