Hear from our families

As part of our ‘Every Precious Life’ appeal, we’re proud to share the heartfelt stories of incredible families who have been impacted by the support of Tŷ Hafan. Each story is a powerful reminder of the vital role your donations play in providing care and support to families like these.

Emrys' Story

We knew what was ahead for Emrys. We could have tried to buy more time, but that wouldn’t have been fair on Emrys.

Our family came to the hospital. Everyone had the opportunity to hold him. All the tubes were taken away. We saw his beautiful face without any tubes for the first time.

We just had time with him then. Just the two of us with Emrys, chatting, reading to him and singing him to sleep for the very last time.

Tommy's Story

I never really thought Tommy would be gone. I always thought: ‘No, this is going to be OK. This is just something that we have to go through. It’s horrific. But he’ll be OK.’

The thing with losing a baby like we lost Tommy is that most of my friends and family have never met him. They only know what I speak of him. But with Kirsty and Tŷ Hafan there is that emotional connection and shared memories and that is so powerful.

Winnie's story

Our Tŷ Hafan experience was out of this world. We left the hospice after Winnie’s death feeling lighter, but like our lives had turned backwards and we couldn’t suss out the path ahead. But whatever our path is now, we have been, and we still are so supported by Tŷ Hafan on this path.

Tŷ Hafan were there for us when Violet was dying, they were there for us when she died and they have been there for us since then. It’s what every parent needs when they lose their child and my heart breaks to know that not every family has that.
