Come and join the conversation with Sharon @thelucafoundation ❤️
Sharon bravely shares her story with me, detailing the loss of her son Luca who was born sleeping in June 2012.
She set up The Luca Foundation specialising in repairing Cuddle Cots across hospitals nationwide, providing bereaved parents with the precious extra few days with their babies. Taking no wage from the charity whatsoever, Sharon tells me that her payment is enabling other families to create memories with their babies, something she was unable to have.
Alongside the charity, Sharon is an author, having written a book called "Why Did Grandad Die" explaining bereavement to children, following difficult questions from her eldest son regarding his brothers passing. It explains to children in a clear and succinct way what happens when someone passes away, and explains that emotions are a normal part of the process that they should feel safe to share.
She has also recently released her book entitled "Angel Warrior" packed full of honesty, raw emotion and advice for loved ones following the loss of a child.
Sharon tells me about her clothing brand LK Eco Style, with a passion for sustainability, eco friendly ethos and profits going directly to The Luca Foundation. With a fabulous line of ethical, slogan clothing, you are buying quality whilst also donating to an incredible cause.
She talks me through her accident, her life coming to a standstill once more and being subsequently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Sharon had to grieve once again for the life she led before and navigate through this debilitating illness, having such an impact on her family life
Her strength and bravery is commendable, through all of her pain she is now dedicating her life to easing the pain of others ❤️
Sharon is a truly inspiring woman, and talks with such grace, passion and composure. I feel honoured to have listened to her story and I cannot wait to see where her journey takes her.
