Laura Elliot

@LouisaNicoll @lgoodbu It was so lovely to meet you too Louisa 💞 I hope you had a lovely meet up afterwards with your children, what a beautiful sunny evening it was for the three of you to raise a glass to John xx

@lgoodbu @LJElliot It was lovely to meet you @LJElliot and thank you for all your gentle support during the presentations. It was a very special day x

Our host for the morning at the Creatively Improving End of Life Care is the fabulous @LJElliot who has been such a supporter of all the #sethslegacy work over a number of years looking forward to a great day

@lgoodbu It was a privilege to spend the day with you all Lesley xx

Well what can I say Laura you are just the most gentle considerate facilitator especially when people are sharing personal experiences thanks for being wonderful @LJElliot

@emcharlesworth3 You both look beautiful Emma x

And the courage to stand there & have a photo taken just of me without my rock. I don’t doubt life will throw more at me. But tonight I’m reflecting and have to #BeThankful for how far I’ve come ❤️

They say time is a healer. I don’t necessarily believe that. I believe time allows you to learn to live with what life has thrown at you. Two weddings. Two years apart. A heck of learning & life in the middle. Progress. Smiles that reach the eyes.

@MorganVine_ Oh no! On all counts. We missed you today.

I thought I couldn't feel much worse this week (thanks COVID) and now this... Thanks for everything you gave us Angela, and every murder you solved. You've been a huge comfort to me through some tough times and I'll miss you #AngelaLansbury people.com/movies/angela-…

@emcharlesworth3 Such a pleasure and privilege getting to know you Emma - you’ve already helped so many people through sharing your experience, and through this report will help many more. As we said, this is just the start of much needed change. 💙

I owe a debt of gratitude to @LJElliot & other LEAF members for their candidness, support & understanding since we first all came together. It's incredible to think what we've all helped to achieve via Zoom calls & it was a pleasure to finally meet some of them in person today.

A short 🧵… Today was the launch event for the @theUKCB’s report "Bereavement is Everyone’s Business." It sets out the changes needed to improve bereavement support across the UK & I’ve been heavily involved through my role on the Lived Experience Advisory Forum (LEAF).

I can’t thank the LEAF members enough - they have been so brave and generous with their time, emotions and experience, and I was so proud to see some of them today in person to celebrate the launch of this report and everything they did to make this possible. 5/5

It’s been a humbling, inspiring and motivating experience for me, where the involvement of people with lived experience has been respected and integrated at every meaningful opportunity. 4/5

Today I had the privilege of attending the launch of @theUKCB report on bereavement support in the UK. The report’s recommendations hold the potential to not only improve the experience of bereaved people in the short term, but inspire real and long lasting societal change. 1/5

@emcharlesworth3 @WidowedAndYoung @lgoodbu @theUKCB My pleasure and privilege - you’ve been amazing. 💙

@LJElliot @WidowedAndYoung @lgoodbu @theUKCB Oh thank you so much Laura, it was lovely to finally meet you in person today. A huge thank you must also go to you as well for all you’ve done to coordinate and support us 💙

WAY Widowed and Young's Chief Exec Stephanie Patrick (right) and Ambassador Emma Charlesworth @emcharlesworth3 were delighted to be part of discussions about #BetterBereavement support at today's @theUKCB launch. We look forward to continuing these important conversations 💙💛

@lgoodbu They pale into insignificance compared to your bundle of gifts! Hope she likes them xx

Today I had a birthday present for #GeorgeousGertieG thank you @LJElliot she will love these 🐾💜🐾

@lgoodbu Much love to you and your wonderful Seth xx

Tomorrow is Seths birthday he would have been 58 and would still have 9 years to go before retirement but there is no retirement because pancreatic cancer killed Seth in 33 days happy birthday Seth I will love you with all of my heart forever #sethslegacy purplerainbow.co.uk/another-birthd…

Today we’re launching our landmark report - Bereavement is Everyone’s Business. We know that many children and adults don’t get adequate support after the death of a loved one. Today’s report sets out the changes needed to improve support across the UK. bit.ly/3ykodbr

@lgoodbu @theUKCB It’s been a long time coming - can’t wait to see you Lesley, and the other LEAF members who can join x

This popped up in my memories the launch of the @theUKCB a year ago and soon the report will be launched looking forward to the 11th October to meeting with the other commissioners and the lived experience advisory forum and seeing @LJElliot in the flesh

@lgoodbu @theUKCB Thank you Lesley - what a wonderful group of people to have met and learnt so much from xx

Really sad that tonight was our last meeting of the @theUKCB lived experience advisory forum leaf but really proud of the input and humbled by the experience if everyone who has contributed and a huge thanks to @LJElliot for her support compassion and empathy #sethslegacy
