In loving memory...

By Emma Crawford

I do not wish for my donation to appear on the memory wall.

Every little life matters and deserves to be celebrated

I created this page for Say Their Name Day to raise funds for Sands and Red Nose so they can continue their important work supporting bereaved families across Australia.

If you can support my fundraiser, you will be helping to bring care and comfort to families when they need it most.

Every dollar raised helps support bereaved families by making sure every family has access to the information and networks they need to move forward and rebuild their lives, now and in the future. 

That means timely access to information resources, an understanding voice on the end of the phone, and an ongoing connection with other families through support groups and remembrance activities.

So please, help me raise much-needed funds to ensure every bereaved family has access to the support they need, for as long as they need it.

Thank you.

Zavier's angelversary, 9th of May 2021

Sunday 7th Mar
It's been nearly 8 years since Zavier grew his angel wings & not one day has past that I haven't felt heartache & shed  grieving tears for him. As this date approaches, my breaths start to become more shallow & the heart pain intensity grows. There is no real escape from all this when you lose a child. You just learn how to hide it better from everyone. They don't see the tear drenched pillows where you lay your head. They don't hear the sobbing or the screams you let out in the middle of all those sleepless nights. They don't notice you catching your breathe as your mind randomly flicks back & vividly replays that horrible day. They don't realise that all of your lifetime of memories, both past & new ones to come will only stand in the shadows of that towering dark cloud of realisation, that moment when I knew you were gone. I felt so alone when you left. As time went on I met other parents through social media that had also lost of a child & the loneliness subsided. But how awful that I should find comfort in such a huge dark crowded room filled with despair & grief. Because we were all, in another way, giving our children life again with the sharing of all those loving memorires & speaking aloud their names. Our angel babies will go on living in our hearts forever & from our lips their names will echo on.
Zavier Mark Huggins IS my son, not even death will make him a WAS. 💙 too the end of eternity and back again
