Chestnut Tree House, the Sussex children’s hospice, is marking National Bereaved Parents Day to show parents who have lost a child of any age, and from any circumstance, they are not alone.

Organised by A Child of Mine and supported by various charities, National Bereaved Parents Day on Saturday, July 3, is about raising awareness and keeping that conversation going.

One couple whose baby son was cared for at the hospice in Poling have shared their story to honour the ‘incredible, passionate care’ the family was given.

Chantelle and Lewis Strudwick, who live in Chichester, lost little Theo at six weeks and two days old, and the last four weeks and two days were spent at Chestnut Tree House.
