Today, we launch a one-of-its-kind booklet: 12 memories of sudden and unexpected loss.
In this new resource, 12 families have come together and entrusted us with their most pertinent and treasured memories of losing a loved one suddenly and unexpectedly.
This booklet is first and foremost a heartfelt tribute to each of the beautiful individuals who so tragically and cruelly lost their lives. It is through them and their wonderful families that we hope that this booklet will:
- Be a guide and a solace to those who may find themselves having to navigate the painful path of sudden and unexpected loss
- Provide a small glimpse to those who are not bereaved themselves but may be having to care for or support someone who is suddenly and unexpectedly bereaved.
It is intended that this booklet is offered to anyone who might benefit from it, at a time that is right for them either as an individual, a family, a friend or as a professional.
Death is often considered a taboo subject in society, but it is important to try and break this silence and engage in open discussion. It is only by talking openly about death that we can hope to promote understanding, uphold resolute compassion and prepare ourselves for the inevitable end of life.
As well as providing care in the very early minutes following injury and illness, London’s Air Ambulance Charity endeavours to provide support to patients and their families beyond this vital stage. Very sadly and despite the very best of efforts, some of our patients die and in so doing, their families find themselves in the inconceivably painful position of being suddenly and unexpectedly bereaved.
We hope this booklet will be shared far and wide, to whoever may benefit from it. Download the ebooklet: https://www.londonsairambulance.org.uk/sites/default/files/2023-09/LAA_Bereavement_Booklet_Digital_2.pdf?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=bereavementbooklet
In loving memory of Shaquan, Kevin, Ann, Chloe, Jim, Saffie, Dave, Joe, Sian, Lillian, Jas and Josh. May they rest in peace..
