Getting to know... Sharon Darke, Bereavement Support Coordinator at Twins Trust
Twins Trust’s Bereavement Support Group offers a safe space for parents to talk to someone that has sadly been through the same experience of bereavement following the death of one or more of their children. Sharon is the first point of contact for parents and carers who get in touch. We met up with Sharon at the Twins Trust Volunteer day in March and talked to her about the important role that the group plays for bereaved parents.
We have to talk about it – ‘death’, ‘die’, ‘dead’, ‘dying’ - it’s part of being human!
Written by Claire Burgess, Family Consultant. Even the title of this blog might make you feel uncomfortable – many of us find it difficult to talk about death at all, let alone with our children!
