In memory

The children of our community are never forgotten.

SCN2A and the developmental and epileptic encephalopathies take some of the children this community loves. This page belongs to their families. It is a quiet place to say their names, to remember who they were, and to keep them part of us.

This space is separate from our Family Map. Everything here has been placed with a family's permission, and there are no public comments.

Tributes

Their names, remembered

This space is here whenever a family wants it. Some families come to it soon, some after many years, and some not at all. There is no pressure and no time limit, whatever feels right for your family is right.

When a family shares a tribute and it has been reviewed together, it will appear here.

Add a tribute

If you would like your child remembered here, we would be honoured.

Tell us about them in your own words. Take all the time you need, you can come back to this whenever you are ready.

Nothing you send is published straight away. A member of our team reads every tribute, checks the details with you, and only then does it appear.

Rather talk to a person?

You do not have to fill in a form. Our family support coordinator can take the tribute over email or a call, gently and at your pace.

Private. We only use it so our team can check the details with you. It is never published.

Every tribute is read by a real person on our team, and nothing is ever published automatically. We will be in touch with you first, and your words appear only once you have told us they are right. You can ask for changes, or for the tribute to come down, at any time. We treat those requests as same-day.
