Today we should be celebrating Samuel’s 22nd birthday.
Instead he will always be 17 💜
The widening age gap is cruelly insane.
Miss you so much Samuel 💜

6,929 young people have died by suicide in the past decide.
Each lost life is represented by a birthday balloon at @theCALMzone installation at @westfieldlondon.
It’s amazing, tragic & breathtaking.
Each life lost so precious 🎈❤️
#SuicidePreventionday
Today at 09:15 I will hold my breath.
You chose to leave this world, the pain too much to shoulder.
Everything changed in that moment. Our world imploded.
Samuel you are so loved and missed 💜

Gracie, my Romanian rescue, & I visit North Tyneside General Hospital palliative care ward every Monday.
She brings calm & connection at the end of life.
It’s emotional & hugely life affirming ❤️
I cry frequently
