We’re now living in the hospice, waiting for that moment. I can’t imagine being anywhere else. We agreed as part of Archie’s care plan that we would like him to pass here and it’s the best decision we have made.

We were able to have a celebration of Ieuan’s life at the hospice and about 80 of our family and friends attended, sharing our love, memories and achievements of our boy. It was truly special.
- Tracey
My child passed away in hospital but came back to the hospice. To have that time, the peace, the quiet, was amazing. We were looked after. They are gentle people who know what to say to make you feel good at a bad time.
