We're the national charity in Ireland that addresses dying, death and bereavement. Our vision is an Ireland where people facing end of life or bereavement, and those who care for them, are provided with the care and support that they need. RCN: 20013554
📚 Continuing this year’s BCAW focus on books, we’re sharing a message from author John Dougherty.

💛 His book, A Hare-Shaped Hole, beautifully explores emotional expression and continuing bonds for bereaved children.
