I can’t find the words for how proud I am of the GRASSroots team. They asked people poignant personal questions about death & grief and really listened to their answers. Do join this webinar like absolutely no other! 8 June 12.30 @derwem @KUStGeorges @Cleggins82 @FoxNikkiFox

We photograph births and newborns, so why not people’s final days and funerals? My own mother’s funeral (2014) was discreetly video recorded and photographed. It provides us with comfort and even happiness to look at them. And the photos we took when she was ill are so precious

During lockdown: How can you inform someone who doesn't understand words that their mum has died? One of the questions sent in so far, which I'll address in the webinar. Send me yours! Join me on Wednesday. (Spoiler alert: I don't have all the answers... but let's start talking!)
One of the big questions @TuffreyWijne has noticed people struggle with is talking about dying. Should you? Could you? How? When? In this webinar, Irene will share what she has learned about this during her 20 years of research. Find out more & register: socsi.in/0ZmFI

Today, we are celebrating #TeamMencap. We're passing the baton up and down the nation. We might not be running the @VirginMoney @LondonMarathon together today... But we're still training, still working hard, in spite of the difficulties. Thank you #TeamMencap. ❤

Here's my latest blog. Good to see that the need for "reasonable adjustments" for people with intellectual disabilities during #COVID is noticed and adressed tuffrey-wijne.com/?p=816 @uk_beyondwords @KUStGeorges @NHSEngland
Reasonable adjustments don’t just mean physical things like easy read letters. It means listening and understanding that people with a #LearningDisability don’t always show symptoms like other people. - Angela #TreatMeWell
