I don't have the words to properly describe how much this has affected me, as another bereaved mother. Thank you for continuing to share Neve. She is continuing to do deeply impact the world.

It is very important for me too, with a child under palliative care. We have been camping this weekend. Because if not this weekend then when?

Exactly. As one of Neve's wise doctors once said, if you end up with more time than you expected, you can always go camping again! I hope it was a lovely weekend. xx

Wow. This is it. Telling death stories. You have added to someone’s well-being by sharing this. You have given someone handrails. Thank you for mentioning my sweet boy. I hope he and Neve are having a grand time together. ❤️⭐️

It was you who properly gave me the words to understand the importance of death stories. You and Mason. I struggle to cry but one of the few times I have cried was when I listened to your End Well talk. You unlocked something in me that I have been and continue to really struggle to reach. The impact of us all sharing our words and our children is more than I can quite describe. Thank you to you too. Most of the bereaved families I know have lost babies. I sometimes imagine Neve running a creche/daycare, out there. Neve's creche, I call it. I am not sure quite how well that would be going, her in charge of lots of babies, so I reckon she would be overjoyed to have Mason join her!!

This is so beautiful, Emily. The way you write, I am right there with you, and Neve.

I hope you will write the story/book for children who are dying of disease. You already have the empathy and creativity for it, and the lived experience. Neve understood that her story must remain, and continue, even if she no longer could narrate. In asking you for a story, she also understood that her story is, and will, be intertwined with yours. Thank you to Neve, and to you, for teaching me so much. Temima
