Today is Grief Awareness Day. 🤍

Grief doesn't have a timeline, a rulebook, or a single way of looking. It can be loud, quiet, overwhelming or hidden behind a smile and it can come in waves when we least expect it.

Today and every day, let's remember to be gentle with those who are grieving and with ourselves. Sometimes the kindest thing we can offer isn't advice or answers, but simply our presence and understanding.

To anyone carrying the weight of loss you are not alone, your feelings are valid, and it's okay to take things one day at a time.

💙 How We Help

When a baby or child dies, families can be left facing a grief that changes everything. At Marching on with Hendrix, we’re here to offer practical, emotional and meaningful support during some of the hardest days.

🤍 Bereavement counselling & EMDR therapy -
Parents and grandparents can access up to 6 funded sessions, while bereaved siblings can access up to 10 sessions.

🥫 Food vouchers -
We provide a food voucher within the first 6 months following a loss, helping to ease some of the practical pressures families may face.

🧸 Keepsakes -
We provide meaningful keepsakes, including memory bears to help families honour their baby or child and keep their memory close.

No family should have to navigate bereavement alone. We’re here to listen, support and walk alongside families for as long as they need us. 💙

🤍 Who We Help -

At Marching on with Hendrix, we support families following the death of a baby or child.

Our support is available to bereaved parents, grandparents and siblings who have lost a baby or child from 24 weeks gestation up to 18 years old.

We know that no two families grieve in the same way. There is no timeline for grief, and there is no expectation to “move on”. Our role is simply to walk alongside families, offering compassionate support during what can be an incredibly isolating and overwhelming time.

Depending on their circumstances, families may be able to access counselling and therapy, memory keepsakes, practical support, food vouchers and signposting to other services.

We support families not only in the immediate aftermath of their loss, but throughout the journey that follows.

Because when a baby or child dies, their family doesn’t stop being a family.
Their baby or child doesn’t stop being loved.
And they shouldn’t have to navigate life after loss alone. 🤍

Marching on with Hendrix
Supporting bereaved families, one step at a time. 🦋

If you are a bereaved family and would like to find out more about the support we offer, please get in touch with us.

☀️ Summer holidays and grief…

For some families, the summer holidays mean days out, holidays, late nights, ice creams and making memories together.

But when you’ve lost a child, summer can bring such a complicated mix of emotions.

You may have other children who are here, and you want to give them a beautiful summer. You want to make memories with them, watch them laugh, take the photos and enjoy every moment you possibly can.

But alongside all of that happiness can be an enormous sense of loss.

Because there should be another little person there too.

Another child to take on days out.
Another hand to hold.
Another face in the holiday photos.
Another voice asking for an ice cream.

And sometimes, you can feel incredibly grateful for the children you have with you while simultaneously feeling completely heartbroken for the child who is missing.

You can laugh with your children and still cry for the one you’ve lost.

You can make beautiful memories and still wish with every part of you that your family was complete.

There is no right way to feel in the holidays.

You don’t have to choose between enjoying the children who are here and grieving the child who isn’t. Both can exist at the same time.

Make the memories, take the photos, have the ice cream, laugh until your stomach hurts and carry your little one with you in whatever way feels right because their absence is felt in the moments they should have been part of.

💃🏻HendrixFest’26 -
HendrixFest means so much more than a day of music, fun and fundraising.

HendrixFest exists because of a little boy who changed our lives forever. A little boy whose name deserves to be spoken, remembered and carried forward.

But it’s also about the families we meet along the way. The parents who are learning how to live with a loss they never should have had to experience. The siblings and grandparents who are grieving too. The people who walk through our doors needing someone to simply say, “I understand.”

Every year, HendrixFest gives us the opportunity to bring people together in Hendrix’s memory, raise vital funds for Marching on with Hendrix and, most importantly, remind bereaved families that they are not alone.

It’s one day a year that we pour our hearts into but what it makes possible continues throughout the entire year.

Every ticket bought. Every raffle ticket. Every donation. Every drink. Every smile. Every person who turns up and says Hendrix’s name.

It all matters.

So yes, HendrixFest is important to us every single year.

Because while we can’t change what happened to Hendrix, we can make sure his life continues to make a difference 🩵💂
