CHARITY TRUSTEE

Charlotte Johns

I became a trustee for the charity to help provide support for other bereaved parents, like myself, and to raise awareness of baby loss.

After losing our daughter, someone said to me:

“One day, you’ll talk about how you’ve dealt with the grief of losing your little girl and it will become someone else’s survival guide”

At the time, it seemed ludicrous that anyone could possibly benefit from the loss of our daughter. However, I’ve since realised that much of the support I’ve received has been from other bereaved parents. It hasn’t mattered whether their losses were one, ten or fifty years ago because grief itself doesn’t change.

I am still navigating grief and the many ways it affects my life, but I hope that I can use my own experience of baby loss to provide support and hope to other bereaved parents.
