Michelle Green, Bereavement Lead

Jessie May’s community is a club that families might hope they never need, but when they do, they’re so glad that it exists. 

We work with the whole family, providing much needed practical support and emotional scaffolding when your child enters end of life care. We can offer help before, during and after your child’s funeral.  

Support can look different for everyone, so we offer a range of options: home visits and phone calls, relaxed coffee catch-ups, countryside walks with other bereaved parents, or one-to-one time with Michelle, our trained bereavement support coordinator. 

We can also connect you with other organisations that may be able to offer additional support and guidance. 

There are special events just for our bereaved families, and as part of the Jessie May family, you’re always welcome to our family events—whether it’s at our Christmas parties, fun days, or simply when you feel ready to reconnect. 

Celebrate lives

Tree of Light

Each December, we hold our Tree of Light event to remember and celebrate the lives of all the children. 

 Set in a peaceful, non-religious space, the event features music and readings that offer time for reflection. Families are invited to write a message to their child on a star, which is then hung on a tree illuminated with soft lights.
