Your pictures of Neve are beautiful, and so are your words. I will think differently about hope now that I have read this. Marie Xx

A pediatric palliative care doctor once told me that hope, by it's very nature, is never false. You can hold onto hope even when you know your child is going to die. That's a paradox but I found it to be true when my daughter was dying. This essay is beautiful and heartbreaking. Your paintings of Neve are stunning.
