Family stories

"We felt we had two choices, to face it… or not. I don’t think we could ever underestimate what having that support has done for us. I think if we hadn’t said yes to it we’d be in a very different place right now.” (Sophie, Isabel’s mum, summer 2018)

"Shooting Star Children's Hospices enabled us to spend time with our beautiful Annie after she had passed away. They gave us much needed time to cuddle her, to kiss her, to tell her how much we loved her and for our tears to flow. It also meant that some of our family and friends were able to come and support us and say their own goodbyes whilst seeing Annie ‘sleeping’ so peacefully." (Claire, Annie’s mum, winter 2018)
