Testimonials

“I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you for creating the courses about infant loss. I am a bereavement support volunteer for Cruse Bereavement Care on the Isle of Man, and I asked to be enrolled and they’ve been so interesting and helpful to my understanding and I know it will help me to support anyone who has experienced this far better than I would without this invaluable training”

Chantal is a powerhouse of a woman who brings her own experience of her daughter’s death into passionate education for healthcare professionals. I did a training day with her a few weeks ago and if you ever get the chance to go, do (taking your biggest emotional capacity and a box of tissues)”

“Thank you very much for the attached and especially for the session yesterday. Your teaching was deeply moving which I felt was extremely courageous, honest and vital in enlightening those of us in helping professions and for everyone actually.”

Caroline Peskett – Counsellor

“I attended the 2 hour infant loss training on Saturday morning. I would recommend it to all Cruse volunteers. Infant loss features in so many client’s lives, either as the main reason they are asking for support at the time or (I find) woven into their life story which reveals itself in the sessions. Chantal uses her own real life experience of being a mother to Marnie as a basis and this is both deeply affecting and an opportunity to rigorously consider and reflect on how we support families who are going through/have been through infant loss. It was not an easy training session but as a result, I feel prepared and refreshed and, having reflected upon some of the (even) more difficult aspects of infant loss, able to bring them into the room with clients.
