PS here’s what I look like writing this

Please RT. 🧵1/2. Help needed. We are looking for a child’s hurl that was accidentally left at the toilets at Ballinesker beach on Thursday 11th July around 9pm. It was given to a 10 year old by his Dad who passed away a month ago and is of huge sentimental value.

Whether you’ve been following us for a while now or are new to Cruse, we’re glad you’re here. If you know of anyone who would benefit from this page, please invite them to follow us.

What you see versus what you don't — there is a lot beneath the surface of MS. MS, much like an iceberg, has an unseen side to it that can be very frustrating. Everyone's experience is different and unique, and those living with MS may face both visible and invisible symptoms.

MS symptoms — even just the possibility of symptoms — can make hosting events more challenging. As the next big holiday is just around the corner, learn the best tips for hosting while managing MS symptoms: https://t.co/4i6MU4pEug

Today is #nationalbereavedparentsday It is a journey no parent should face but it happens to so many of us. Our beautiful Adam is loved and missed every day. He would have been coming 19 in August, forever 30 days old 💙

Today our thoughts are with all the parents and families who have lost loved ones, today on #NationalBereavedParentsDay and every day. Information and support if you are experiencing grief and bereavement is available. Visit https://t.co/937BjegLyf for support.

Looking back, my daughter’s symptoms date back to 2019. One consultant said her pain was psychological. Her counsellor advised neurology referral. We had to get private app as 5 year waiting list for NHS. Thankfully she is now getting 6 monthly infusion treatment 🧡

#Teachers, you see that boy at the back of the class, the one who's normally so bright and cheerful, but today is very quiet? He's thinking about his mum. Yesterday he was at the church cutting the grass on her grave. If you can, take a moment with him. #hiddengrief #bereavement

Today is #WorldMSDay. The theme is #MyMSDiagnosis, something we as a family have been touched by the past year. My 20 year old daughter was diagnosed a week before she started uni last September. We are so proud of her and what she has achieved despite the challenges.

So sad to hear about Colin Murray Parkes’ death. A lovely man who cared deeply about bereaved people and was involved with Cruse for 60 years. My thoughts are with his family. 💜

Christmas time is difficult following the death of a loved one, especially for young people. @Ashleighisabel3 reflects on what can help. Thanks to @CriticalVoiceNi for sharing.

The @MHCIreland @DSS_Ireland is to be commended on their approach A similar model in the North could support the implementation of #AdvanceCarePlanningNI to ensure information, advocacy, & registration to enable people's wishes, feelings, & beliefs to be respected & followed

#WorldMentalHealthDay This is one of the best videos I have seen about mental health awareness. @NorwichCityFC

I am so privileged to work with such amazing young people. As adults we learn so much for them. It’s so important we hear their voices and listen to what they need, not what we think they need.
