On Tuesday, April 13th Dublin City Libraries in partnership with @IrishHospice are hosting Coping with Grief in #COVID-19. This talk will provide guidance on how to take care of ourselves and support those who are grieving. Click here for details https://www.dublincity.ie/events/coping-grief-covid-19
Please take the time to have your say...to respond to those grieving we need to understand the needs of bereavement support services @children_grief @jacintas_smile @barnardos @AnamCaraSupport @FirstLight_Ire @RainbowsIreland @Shapesofgrief @HUGGIreland @feileacain1 @tusla https://twitter.com/ICBNIrl/status/1379750996818137091
Today we'll administer our One Millionth #COVID19 vaccine here in Ireland. We expect almost 19% of the eligible population to have received their dose 1 and almost 8% dose 2. This week we administered 98% of vaccines received within the same week. Future is brighter. @HSELive
Creative workshops @alittlelifetime are special because we give time to remember our babies in a world where we sometimes feel they are forgotten❤️
