Rae

09-04-14

When I moved to the UK (my 'birth/arrival' into a new me, in a new life), to marry my husband, I didn't realise it meant being separated from my family due to the cost and conditions of the hostile environment. As soon as I became a citizen, the pandemic came and lockdown ensued. I haven't seen my father in 6 years. My mother in 3. And my sister (with a learning disability) in 3. It has been so hard to sleep over the past few years, especially as they are deteriorating in health and a computer screen doesn't make up for it as some politicians think (neither does sending money as if human relationships are just cold transactions) ... Still, despite the pain, trauma of never knowing where you'll be in 2.5 years, and the depression and isolation of being away from family to meet 'physically present' tests and ever rising costs, I'm one of the lucky ones. End the hostile environment.

arrival

DOP JKJ

11-03-88

JKJ was the first friend I made in the UK. Back then, I was a study abroad student in London, thinking I was only going to be here for a semester. Little did I know, I would become a citizen and call it my permanent home over a decade later. JKJ was more than my ambassador to life in the UK (but what he taught me, stuck with me, and helped me pass my life in the UK test). He taught me a lot about film (he was a director of photographer), music, philosophy, politics, science, writing, and myself. He passed away at 27 in Barcelona. And his young life included music videos ("Shiver" by Lucy Rose); ("Hand of Man" by Django Django); and Student Academy Award winning "For Elsie", among others). He loved hip hop, especially Public Enemy, The Roots, and A Tribe Called Quest. And even scratched records. We said goodbye in dreams. And the most unlikely songs sometimes play at the right times.

"The Jamaican national flag comprises of the colours green, black, and gold. Significance of the flag of Jamaica lie in Jamaica Flag Colours, so that green is symbolic of hope: for me the hope of a better in the mother country; Black is the symbol of strength and creativity of Jamaican people,which I have found in the people in the UK, and gold represents sunlight and Jamaica's natural wealth: living in Stoke I've experienced the wealth of knowledge and the warmth and friendliness of the local people" Nemonee Stone

Malcolm Chamberlain

03-07-35

Born to conservative parents from a working class background my father never really had the chance to express himself creatively in the way he wanted, which I've always thought was a terrible shame. He loved drawing and had aspirations to be an architect, but was not encouraged to study so ended up working as a labourer on building sites instead. But a regular wage ensured he could fulfil his dream in another way, by travelling throughout Europe and beyond, marvelling at how others lived. And he loved a cathedral did my dad! So as a child I was fortunate to travel with my parents to amazing places which led to many adventures, not least of which was experiencing a pre-Glasnost Russia. I loved our holidays and will always hold those memories dear. His was a life well travelled and well lived. And now when I travel, following your path, I take you with me in my heart. Thank you dad xxx

Florence May Chamberlain

01-02-26

Born in the middle of a field in rural Hampshire, my mother grew up with her younger brother in poverty. Her mother worked as a cleaner and her father was a serviceman who had fought in the Boer War and who ruled the household with an iron fist. At the age of 14, her father died and she had to leave school to work, to help support the family, even though she wanted to continue at school. But she was eventually able to pass on her love of language to me and my earliest memories are of her reading to me. From the time I could read myself, I always had a book in my hand and ended up doing well in English at school, which I know made her proud. When I left home, we would write regularly, even though I lived only a few miles away. Sadly, your letter writing days are over mum, but your passions live on in mine and so I am writing this now to you, with gratitude and all my love, Julie xxx

Walter German

30-12-20

Our beautiful boy Walter arrived in the world on 30.12.20. Sadly he became poorly after birth and he was looked after in intensive care. Walter lost his battle and passed away peacefully on 08.01.21. He was a big 8lb 11oz baby with red hair. We spent 9 days at his side. We read him stories, took pictures and made memories. We held his beautiful body and stared at him mesmerised. I’m not sure anything can prepare you for the loss of a child. We have been working hard to find strength and peace over these past few months. The love and support shown by family, friends and colleagues has been wonderful. You are wonderful people. This experience has opened our eyes to a community of bereaved parents. Since we haven’t been able to register his birth or death yet due to an investigation, we are very much looking forward to seeing his name on the board and celebrating his life.

Kritpong Chumnansin

APR-2020

I met Kritpong alias Chris on Bumble. After experiencing domestic violence in my previous relationship with my son’s father, I had a hard time mentally, it still is a struggle sometimes to accept that I will never be the same, something has broken. Despite I tried to date a lot, and as many people, I went on Bumble at the first lockdown. I wanted to flirt with someone, I wanted to have something casual. I bumped into him... I loved his smile and he seemed ‘normal’ and kind which was unusual to me. I tried to flirt so hard but he was interested in me, not in my games I use, for hiding my true self. It was weird and terrifying when we started to bond and I still struggle to accept that life can be normal with a man. That he doesn’t shout, and he tries to always understand me, that we can share kind touches. I’m on the long path of recovery thanks to our journey together.

David Andrew Jones

17-07-62

David Andrew Jones had Celtic blue eyes with an amazing twinkle, and in 1987 we fell in love. Our relationship was tumultuous, but fun and loving in so many ways, until we both tested HIV positive in 1995. When I fell ill David cared for me but in 1999 the roles reversed when he was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. The treatment left him a shadow of his former self, chained to opiates numbing the pain. I slept on the floor beside his bed so I could attend to his personal care and dignity, but David never left the ward and he died there in October six months after the diagnosis. We spent 12 years together filled with passion, love, adventure and kinky spontaneity. David was different but kind and honest; his own man and a dare devil true to his own values.

Henry Vincent was the son of a Norfolk gardener. He worked as a carrier at a meat market & had four young children when his wife died in 1911. Henry signed up in 1914 serving at the front in France. After WW1, he enlisted again, this time to dig & tend the graves of his fallen comrades. Knowing dates doesn't help to tell Henry's story The Commonwealth War Graves Commission staff card has brief notes handwritten in ink Proceeded to France 3.11.1920 Promoted to gardener 9.5.21' "Agreement Terminated 26.4.30" Then there's a stamped entry: FILE DESTROYED 1962 Just how & when did Henry depart? Family rumour is that he was found dead in a French canal. What became of this father, widow, soldier, this gardener? His records DESTROYED. Henry tended others graves, his own last resting place is a mystery. My great grandfather is not forgotten though. RIP Henry Vincent

Shawn means 'God is gracious.' After 7 years of infertility, we found out that we were welcoming a baby. At our first ultrasound, we found out that we were 5 month pregnant, which was way off based on our calculations. With an expected delivery on Thanksgiving, Shawn came a month early at 34 weeks and weighed 7lbs 1 oz. His Apgar score was a 9.9 and his healthy weight meant that he did not have to stay in the NICU as expected. In a world of COVID-19 and uncertainty, Shawn truly was a symbol of God's grace and his big brother, CAM, couldn't be happier to have the little brother he prayed for. Carl & La Shawn Martin

We call her Punky and we forget why. She is fussy but a good sleeper. She has a birthmark that looks like a ladybug without the spots on the top of her head. To calm her down she likes when both her hands are held at the same time, listening to Imogen Heap's "Goodnight and Go" or Harry Nilsson's "Coconut," when you make silly faces at her, or sitting on your lap facing the world. We are committed to barging into her room at 3am the night she turns 40 and crying and shitting our pants as revenge for the past few months.

Adriene

29-09-84

Adriene from Yoga with Adriene has literally helped to get me through lockdown! It sounds an exaggeration but it’s really true and I think it is to a lot of people. I thrive on routine and found a way to embed yoga videos with Adriene into my daily morning rhythm despite homeschooling two kids and continuing to work. I woke up every morning looking forward to this precious calm and meditative time to myself, which equipped me for the rest of the day. Adriene has taught me to carry my yoga practice into my everyday life and to focus on gratitude for the things we do have - these two things have helped to keep me sane over the last year and I feel so thankful.

Will historically white institutions remain accountable for the possibility of change?

Bonnie Joyce Drummond

25-11-14

Bonnie is my youngest daughter, six already - I can’t believe it! Bonnie didn’t want to come out of my tummy - she kept us waiting 2.5 weeks and still then needed to be taken out by cesarean after a failed 2 day induction. She boasts now that she was so cosy in there that she didn’t want to come out and would go back in if she could and sometimes tries to get under my top to prove her point. Her favourite time of year in Winter, when she likes to snuggle with a hot chocolate, a story and my arm firmly around her - I hope to have another six years of being her favourite cosy spot.

Tina Ramos Ekongo is a Equatorial Guinean -Spanish figurative visual artist and illustrator who lives and works in England. She was born in 1987 in Malabo and grew up in Spain between Madrid and Zaragoza and moved to the UK in 2011. Regarding her work, it is mainly portraiture and is very influenced by the African traditional murals on health campaigns and the artwork found in African barbershops and hair saloons. The use of cardboard as the principal medium to develop her work serves as a juxtaposition on the undervalue of black women in Western societies and their real value as pillar of their communities and force of change . Through painting them on cardboard, she gives a new value to a disposable material and highlight the exquisite beauty of the black woman in her different shades.

Ameles fasciipennis

1871

Bei gezielter Nachsuche durch verschiedene Spezialisten in der Umgebung von Tolentino ist es nicht gelungen, die Art wiederzufinden. Da damit seit mehr als 150 Jahren Funde ausgeblieben sind, wurde sie als ausgestorben klassifiziert. Ein direkter Grund für das Aussterben kann nicht angegeben werden, allerdings wird die Region heute sehr intensiv landwirtschaftlich genutzt, so dass der ursprüngliche Lebensraum der landwirtschaftlichen Melioration zum Opfer gefallen sein könnte.

Deloneura immaculata

Neocnemis occidentalis

1867

Die Art wurde von George Robert Crotch in den Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London 1867 erstbeschrieben. Er stellte für die Art die monotypische Gattung Neocnemis auf. Eine Neuuntersuchung des Typusmaterials durch Peter E. Stüben, einen Experten für die Käfer der Azoren im Jahr 2019 zeigte allerdings, dass die Aufstellung einer eigenen Gattung für die Art kaum gerechtfertigt ist, da sie morphologisch extrem ähnlich zu den Arten der Gattung Strophosoma, Untergattung Neliocarus ist.

Melanoplus spretus

1902

Bis heute ist nicht befriedigend geklärt, wieso die Felsengebirgsschrecke ausstarb. Einige Theorien gehen von der Annahme aus, dass das Pflügen und Bewässern der Felder durch Siedler den natürlichen Lebenszyklus der Heuschrecken empfindlich gestört habe. Die letzten großen Schwärme entstanden in den 1870er Jahren. Etwa 30 Jahre später starb die Art aus; das letzte lebende Tier wurde 1902 im Süden Kanadas gefunden. Wäre die Heuschrecke nicht ausgestorben, hätte sie die nordamerikanische Landwirtschaft wahrscheinlich stark beeinträchtigt.

Auerochse

1627

Verantwortlich für das Verschwinden dieser letzten Ure in Jaktorów waren Krankheiten, Wilderei, zu einem gewissen Grad auch Jagd sowie der zunehmende Schwund des Lebensraums durch das Vordringen der lokalen Bauern in die Region, die ihre Rinder und Pferde auf den ehemaligen Weidegründen der Auerochsen weiden ließen. Der für die Ure begrenzte Lebensraum bedeutete Nahrungsmangel im Winter, was den Hungertod einiger Exemplare zur Folge hatte, sowie Stress. So töteten sich manche Bullen bei Kämpfen gegenseitig.

departure

Prolagus sardus

1800

Er ist wahrscheinlich um 1800 ausgestorben, wobei die Belege für seine Existenz bis in das 18. Jahrhundert dünn sind. Nach anderen Quellen starb er bereits vor etwa 2000 Jahren aus und das spätere Vorkommen auf Tavolara wird als unbestätigt betrachtet.

departure

Capra pyrenaica pyrena

2003

Während des 19. Jahrhunderts wurde der Pyrenäensteinbock massiv bejagt, und die Population nahm stetig ab. Der endgültige Grund des Aussterbens ist bis heute nicht geklärt. Forscher gehen meist von einer Infektionskrankheit oder Unfruchtbarkeit aus. Dem letzten überlebenden Tier wurde 1999 eine Zellprobe entnommen, um es zu klonen. Das Exemplar starb im Jahr 2000, wodurch die Unterart ausgestorben war. Mit Hilfe der Zellprobe wurde im Jahr 2003 ein Pyrenäensteinbock-Kitz geklont. Es war das erste Tier, das von einer ausgestorbenen Unterart geklont wurde. Der junge Steinbock starb aber schon nach einigen Minuten, womit die Unterart erneut ausstarb.

departure

Conuropsis carolinensis

1918

Der Karolinasittich starb aus verschiedenen Gründen aus: Immer mehr Land wurde landwirtschaftlich kultiviert, große Wälder abgeholzt und so sein Lebensraum zerstört. Der letzte wilde Vogel starb nach 1927 in Florida, der vermutlich letzte in Gefangenschaft lebende mit dem Namen Incas starb am 21. Februar 1918 im Zoo von Cincinnati, kurze Zeit nach dem Tod seiner Partnerin, mit der er 30 Jahre zusammenlebte.

departure

Ninox albifacies

1914

Den letzten dokumentierten Report gab es im Juli 1914, als an den Blue Cliffs in der Canterbury Region ein totes Exemplar gefunden wurde. Unbestätigte Sichtungen gab es bis in die 1940er Jahre und um 1960 wurden Eierfragmente in der Nähe von Canterbury gefunden.

departure

Riccordia bracei

1890

Der Bracesmaragdkolibri war über 100 Jahre nur durch ein einzelnes männliches Exemplar bekannt, das der amerikanische Botaniker Lewis Jones Knight Brace am 13. Juli 1877 ca. 4,8 km von Nassau entfernt im Binnenland von New Providence erlegte.

departure

Pomarea fluxa

1977

Viel vom ursprünglichen Flachlandtrockenwald auf Eiao ist durch Überweidung zerstört worden. Eingeführte Katzen und Ratten stellten den Monarchen nach. Durch die Einbürgerung des Braunbrust-Schilffinken (Munia castaneothorax) wurden zudem Vogelkrankheiten auf Eiao eingeschleppt.

departure

Aplonis fusca

1923

Die Gründe für sein Aussterben sind unklar. Überjagung und Lebensraumzerstörung haben vermutlich eine wichtige Rolle gespielt.

departure

Coregonus fera

1958

Wegen der Eutrophierung des Genfersees, der Überfischung und der starken Hybridisierung mit eingeführten Coregonen wie der Palée war die Féra bereits in den 1920er-Jahren extrem selten. Die letzten Existenzbelege soll es bis 1950 gegeben haben; um 1958 wurde diese Art jedoch nicht mehr nachgewiesen.

departure

Coregonus hiemalis

1950

Zusammen mit der ebenfalls als ausgestorben betrachteten Féra (Coregonus fera) gehörte die Gravenche zu den am stärksten gefangenen Speisefischen des Genfersees. Um das Jahr 1890 machte die Fangquote dieser beiden Arten 68 % aller gefangenen Fische im Genfersee aus. Die Überfischung sorgte dafür, dass sie bereits in den 1920er Jahren extrem selten war und seit dem Jahr 1950 nicht mehr nachgewiesen wurde.

departure

Streblorrhiza speciosa

1998

1830 war Streblorrhiza speciosa in der Wildnis ausgestorben, nachdem der englische Botaniker Allan Cunningham die letzten Exemplare aufsammelte. Die Ursachen des Aussterbens waren vermutlich die Überweidung durch verwilderte Schweine, Hausziegen und Kaninchen. Wegen ihrer attraktiven Hülsenfrüchte war diese Art auch in britischen Gewächshäusern zu sehen. Da sich die Pflanzen in der Kultivierung aber nicht halten konnten, gingen alle Exemplare bis 1860 ein. Heute existieren nur noch einige Herbarexemplare, davon zwei im Naturhistorischen Museum Wien. 1980 wurde der Versuch unternommen, Samen aus der konservierten Hülsenfrucht des Typusexemplares zur Keimung zu bringen, dieser Versuch blieb jedoch ohne Erfolg.

departure

Achyranthes atollensis

1970

Achyranthes atollensis kam auf Laysan, den Midwayinseln, dem Kure-Atoll und dem Pearl-und-Hermes-Atoll in den Nordwestlichen Hawaii-Inseln vor. Der Lebensraum dieser Pflanzenart waren trockenes Buschland auf Kalksandböden.

departure

Lepisanthes unilocularis

1935

Lepisanthes unilocularis was a species of plant in the family Sapindaceae. It was endemic to China. It is extinct in nature, having last been seen in 1935.

Pradosia glaziovii

1998

Pradosia glaziovii ist nur von zwei Sammlungen des französischen Botanikers Auguste François Marie Glaziou aus dem 19. Jahrhundert bekannt geworden.

departure

Nesiota elliptica

2003

Der St.-Helena-Olivenbaum war bereits im 19. Jahrhundert extrem selten. Wahrscheinlich war der Rückgang auf Lebensraumverlust aufgrund der Entwaldung für die Nutzholzgewinnung und der Überweidung durch verwilderte Hausziegen sowie auf Pilzerkrankungen zurückzuführen.

departure

Panthera tigris virgata

1970

Das Aussterben der Kaspischen Tiger begann mit der russischen Kolonisierung Turkestans im späten 19. Jahrhundert.

departure

Coregonus restrictus

1950

Der letzte bestätigte Nachweis datiert aus dem Jahr 1890. Intensive Suchen in den 1950er-Jahren blieben ergebnislos. Vermutlich war die Überdüngung des Murtensees die Hauptursache für das Aussterben der Art. Heute leben andere Coregoninen-Arten im Murtensee.

departure

Coregonus gutturosus

1970

In den 1950er-Jahren begann die Eutrophierung des Bodensees. Während sich die Bestände anderer Coregonenarten im Bodensee durch Aufstockung erholten, starb der Bodensee-Kilch vermutlich in den 1970er-Jahren aus.

Nonno, ein herzensguter, kulturliebender und lustiger Mensch hat uns im Alter von 91-Jahren verlassen. Ich erinnere mich gut an den Satz „Wenn Du da bisch, gaht es mir immer guät“ beim Nachfragen wie es ihm denn gehe. Jedesmal fühlte ich mich geschmeichelt bis ich hörte, dass dieser Satz wohl der meist gebrauchte war, wenn frau/man nach seinem Wohlbefinden fragte. Beleidigt war ich aber dennoch nicht. Viel eher musste ich schmunzeln, denn dieser Satz liess alle Menschen aufblühen und frau/man fühlte sich wichtig. Nonno ist - ich benutze dabei ganz bewusst den Präsens - wohl der besonderste Mensch, den ich und auch viele andere wohl jemals kennenlernen durften und dies ganz und gar nicht im negativen Sinne. Ci manchi molto Nonno e spero che alla fine tu sia stato liberato dal tuo dolore. Ti amiamo molto. Molto amore per questa persona, Famiglia Caratsch e Janaina

Toni was a dear dear friend who retired in 2018 from a life of dedicated public service with the play sector and Nottingham City Council. She was so looking forward to new times both with bits of work she wanted to do in the arts and with refugees and to travel the highways and byways in her new camper van. Then Covid came along and she couldn't travel through 2020 and then in the final week of the 2020 was the diagnosis of untreatable terminal cancer with a prediction of 5 months to live which proved correct. It was the time of the 3rd lockdown I wasnt able/allowed to travel to Notts, but we did have a few phone calls and I sent little messages whichshe enjoyed. On my birth day I received a bundle of photos form her collection which featured me - mainly magical shared moments from the 1990's and more recently when she had ventured out to Essaouira for my 50th birthday.

Amy Balmain

16-09-20

Amy was a selfless, generous, passionate woman with a wicked sense of humour. Creative, super-intelligent and organised, she loved the wildness of the hills, and the sea. Amy went for a 'nice little short walk on the South Downs with a couple of friends' as her husband put it. It was one of the hottest days in August last year. She was only in her early fifties but suffered heatstroke from which she never recovered. Her husband's wish is that we make ourselves aware of the dangers of heatstroke, and if you're ever going to venture beyond the named streets of your town, get the what3words app on your phone. The last time I saw her was when I was performing in something at the Brighton Festival, Brighton was her home. We met for a coffee and I regret I forgot to take a picture of the two of us. I haven't yet found a photograph of us together although there are plenty of memories.

Lawrence S Newcombe

18-11-87

Lawrence Sonny Newcombe is my brother. He died in the fire at Kings Cross. A nurse at the Royal Free Hospital, he loved his work very much. He loved London because (I believe) he could more easily be himself, a young, gay man in a time where it was a tough life to be gay in most towns in the UK. I have many happy memories of Lawrence and some where my heart ached for him. The last time we were together was on his 27th birthday, 1987, just 10 days before the tragic events at KC. We celebrated by eating and drinking in Colchester, me on whiskey and coke and he being provided hot sweet tea by the landlady at The Cups public house where he was well-liked and accepted for himself. Were he here today he would be heartened at how today's teenagers accept all kinds of sexuality without question. And he would be singing and playing guitar with my family. I miss him every day.

My grandmother told me she was going to pass away the last time I saw her. And she did. I felt guilty because I didn't believe her, and told her not to say things like that. I was just 18. My father wasn't even able to go to her funeral, living on the other side of the world. When we were able to reunite again, we both experienced a phenomenon where he heard her say his name downstairs; while I heard her say my name upstairs. We didn't know the other was having the same experience at the same time until discussing it later that evening, at dinner. It was comforting. And felt like it was her way of saying don't worry, all is okay, I'm closer than you know. Ever since, I've felt her with me. And the experience sent me down a rabbit hole -- the world of quantum physics, especially entanglement.

My father was excited that he could use a rare Israeli medical permit to observe the holiest night of Ramadan at Al-Aqsa mosque, where our destiny is determined by God for the whole year. An army of Israeli soldiers began to increase in number. As soon as the Imam uttered Allah Akbar (God is the Greatest) to start off the holiest night prayer, Israeli soldiers started throwing gas canisters at worshipers. As a result of the excessive amount of gas my father inhaled, his severe coughing continues until today and his eyes are as red as blood. With every cough, my father vividly remembers Al-Aqsa mosque as a war zone where Israeli soldiers unapologetically shot rubber bullets and threw gas canisters at Palestinians for merely being Palestinians.

An accountant in the army in India in WW2, he told of playing football against barefoot local teams, and dancing naked when the monsoons came. You could fire any two improbable numbers at him and out came the answer; no one ever caught him out. He was a kidder who loved Bob Hope, Buster Keaton and Laurel and Hardy, Ella Fitzgerald and the Glenn Miller Orchestra. He would dance me round the living room, standing on his toes, crooning to ‘There’s a Small Hotel...’ and singing army songs like ‘Roll Out the Barrel’. A fiercely loyal Newcastle supporter and England cricket fan, he taught me and my brother how to play with an old cork ball against the garage wall. He tried (and failed) to teach me the Times cryptic crossword. I miss him. Katy

The strongest, bravest, kindest, loveliest man I have ever met. I fell in love with him immediately, and will love him until the day I die. Everyone adored him, his family, his friends, his colleagues in the police force where he was so highly respected and admired. The many thousands of people he trained ‘to drive properly’, as he called it. He had a knack with people, an interest in everyone, and a way of genuinely connecting with every single person he met. I was so very lucky that he loved me. We were together for years before finally getting married in September 2020. Nobody knew that he had contracted Covid a day or two before. Our wedding day was the last day he felt well, he tested positive three days later, was taken to hospital six days after that, and battled alone against the vicious grip of the virus until he died on 18th October, the day before his birthday.

He was a big 8lb 11oz baby with red hair. We spent 9 days at his side. We read him stories, took pictures and made memories. We held his beautiful body and stared at him mesmerised. I’m not sure anything can prepare you for the loss of a child. We have been working hard to find strength and peace over these past few months. The love and support shown by family, friends and colleagues has been wonderful. You are wonderful people. This experience has opened our eyes to a community of bereaved parents. Since we haven’t registered his death yet, this is the perfect way to honour him.

And then from that day we all no longer had to hold back dreadful fears that you had been suffering horribly and alone for many years. I’m no eulogist in saying that you were selfless at least all my life. Now it’s my job to hold onto the memories of you, the mighty mum who allowed me to be.

Dad was 5 days off 91. The pandemic in the UK and lockdown had been around for a few weeks. Maybe dad saw ahead into the isolation he'd suffer with the pandemic and maybe he couldn't face that. He was a smart man (with all his marbles) and maybe the thought of a year (or so?) without being able to see family was too much for him. He'd never say so; a fearlessly independent man who lived through interesting times.

Bryan Coleby

20-02-19

My father, who died aged 90, 10 years after being diagnosed with Alzheimer's. He came to live in Hove when he and his wife separated at the unlikely age of 80. Just a short decade ago, it was harder to find out about Alzheimer's and perhaps a consolation in that neither he nor I and my family knew what lay ahead. He was a kind, gentle and pragmatic man, and remained trusting of others as his capabilities declined. A man who loved to read and discuss and to play the piano, I could never have imagined him developing Alzheimer's. It was painful to watch his steady decline but also a privilege to care for a parent. After five years of immobility and silence, his gentle death in a care home was both sad and consoling.

My beautiful mum died unexpectedly of a cancer she didn’t know she had. From feeling ‘off’ in the June, she was eventually hospitalised at the end of August that year - and never came out. From there, Her decline was rapid, and uncomfortable. It was she who decided to die; she waited for me to arrive at her hospital bed before she removed her own oxygen mask. I sat with her, stroking her arm, while she experienced her final, laboured breaths. She left quietly after an hour. Everything about her departure was rapid: perhaps that was a blessing. What struck me about being with her while she died was how normal it felt, how I knew what to do. It was full of sadness and grief of course, but not scary. It more like childbirth in reverse, except that death’s contractions dwindle rather than intensify.

David Andrew Jones had Celtic blue eyes with an amazing twinkle, and in 1987 we fell in love. Our relationship was tumultuous, but fun and loving in so many ways, until we both tested HIV positive in 1995. When I fell ill David cared for me but in 1999 the roles reversed when he was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. The treatment left him a shadow of his former self, chained to opiates numbing the pain. I slept on the floor beside his bed so I could attend to his personal care and dignity, but David never left the ward and he died there in October six months after the diagnosis. We spent 12 years together filled with passion, love, adventure and kinky spontaneity. David was different but kind and honest; his own man and a dare devil true to his own values.

The boyish good looks and olive skin seeming to fade away like fabric left in the sun as HIV asset stripped his body. On the good days we watched films, and one day he chose ‘Beaches’ which I hadn’t seen. As I began to sob he drew me close and asked me to believe in angels. “You must,” he said, “because I will be watching over you soon.” Andrea slipped away aged 26 on the 22 May 1991.

My mother Sonia was a loving mother and wife. She had a sad childhood, where addiction and poverty were part of her daily life. This didn't affect her kind and loving personality. She was always there for anyone who needed her. She knew the meaning of fhe word acceptance better than anyone. She died after a long battle with cancer, she is sadly missed.

It is 3 years since my beloved wife Jane, life partner (lobster), mother of our amazing now adult teenage twins, died far too young at 52 from Breast Cancer. The pain still burns brightly but so too does the love and warmth that radiated from her all around us. Helping us on our journey of grief to hold onto the life that shined so brightly within her - always part of our story past and present. You never know when something will trigger a memory, or a feeling and I am grateful for all those moments however big the wave of emotion. She is laughing at us, smiling with us and willing us to be ok and live on - great big lives to take her along with always. I’ve always done things for her love and approval and I still do. Jane is loved and missed so very deeply by many but we are so much more having been lucky enough to have her in our lives. She is departed but oh so dearly xxx

Ray was only 60 when he died, but he lived a great life, full of friends, laughter, circus, love, magic, and corny jokes. He was fully engaged in life and was the most sociable person I knew - what an all-round great bloke. His wife, Jan, and their twins, Rowena and Alexander, miss him - what a great dad he was. His friends miss him also - and he had loads of them - most of whom couldn't attend the funeral because of COVID, so I'm writing this not just for us, but for everyone who knew Ray and couldn't say ta-raa. He leaves a big hole, but he also leaves wonderful memories and a legacy of how to live. Lots of love, God bless you, Jyoti Mark and Mac xxx

Sarah Hegazi was an Egyptian LGBTQ+ activist. She was arrested, imprisoned and tortured in prison in Egypt after flying a rainbow flag at a Mashrou' Leila concert in 2017 in Cairo, Egypt. Sarah was forced to leave for Canada in exile shortly after her release on bail but continued to experience post-traumatic stress. A year after her arrest, she wrote from Canada about how she had suffered from depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and severe anxiety and panic attacks. Three years later, Sarah took her life. The handwritten note Sarah left behind when she died on 14 June 2020 said: "To my siblings - I tried to find redemption and failed, forgive me. To my friends - the experience [journey] was harsh and I am too weak to resist it, forgive me. To the world - you were cruel, to a great extent, but I forgive."

We had met a new peer support group, & friends who 'get it'. Poppy shared with me how her symptoms led to suddenly having a brain tumour op during uni & years of treatments &tough moments.

Alain Yahiaoui died on the last day of the ‘cruellest month’; he would have felt the poetry of that, also loving ‘Aprille with his shoures soote’ though he could not feel those sweet showers, with Covid rules and his illness - Motor Neurone Disease -dragging his body away while his mind still shone with love, philosophy and wit. Adored by his gorgeous family, by me, colleagues, students, and all, he brought alive Othello and Blake and every squiggle on the page. He could turn out a bawdy limerick or sublime blank verse of his own, a natural performer. We were classroom next door neighbours at two schools, and at Priory Alain wowed the whole school community with his tall front-man agility in the school staff band, and his generous heart.Remember him, most memorable man, with his own hospice-haiku: A sprung coil, waiting - Propelling us into hope - Nature's pogo stick.

She gave people the time of day, and her full attention in your presence. She lived in different countries and had many experiences but she was humble and devoted to her family and friends, especially the women. She was a single mother at 21 in Glasgow so she knew hardship and she always reached out a helping hand to women who needed it. She gave lovely cuddles and was warm and giggly. Oh, but she could be fiery too! She did it her way. She was brave. She went into hospital for a surgery which she should have recovered from, but she didn't. She spent weeks and weeks in there. Eventually, she was diagnosed with MND. We did get her home, it was a vigil of love, day and night for those last 2 days before she departed earth side. See you again x

Anne’s Story In the Spring of 2014 Anne and I transplanted from Lingfield intending to live out the balance of our lives in Brighton. We were not to know then that her story would come to an abrupt end before the final days of Summer that same year at the Royal Sussex Hospital. She was 58. Wife and husband, we had been inseparable for more than four decades, facing life’s challenges and sharing life’s exhilaration. Our children, Max and Abigail, miss her as I do. To paraphrase what Winston Churchill said about Franklin Roosevelt: “Meeting Anne was like opening your first bottle of Champagne; knowing her was like drinking it". One of the last pictures of my Anne was taken during her final days in hospital, glass of Champagne in hand. Oscar Wilde acted similarly on his deathbed and quipped: “Alas, I am dying beyond my means.” Anne would have laughed. Tim Davis April 2021

Orgogliosa di essere tua figlia, spero di avere ereditato alcuni dei tuoi più grandi e veri valori, quali la sincerità, l’ingenua trasparenza, l’amicizia – quella profonda, l’apertura alla parità nella bellezza della diversità – “Liberté, égalité, fraternité” diresti tu in francese, l’apprezzamento per il bello, la cultura, il cinema, e l’avventura nel mondo – anche se in modo decisamente meno dinamico del mio. Forse non ti ho dato la soddisfazione di sposarmi in bianco, ma ne abbiamo guardati tanti di vestiti (da sposa) nelle vetrine da bambina.

I was not alone in finding her conversation to be interesting — and the range of topics! She loved learning and dancing. She spent the last year, this year of public health restrictions and too much loss, in a nursing home where she had worked as a nurse, a career that gave her joy. She was in her own home before that which is what she wanted. I am submitting her story in part because it is something I can do to say that she is missed. She loved being with people and having new experiences and she liked to visit the museum with friends on trips organized by her local library - she would appreciate the humanity of this installation.

Lyric Benson was shot by a ex boyfriend for whom she had a restraining order. At 22, Yale educated Benson was proving her mettle on the stage, TV, and film, and her first billboard ad had just gone up the week she was killed in Chinatown. Her death became a sensation on the cover of the ever-pulp NY Post, to be consumed by morning commuters with a flip of the page and nothing more. Another life snuffed out by gun violence. Lyric donated her organs which immediately sustained the life of several other people.

Noah Creshevsky

03-12-20

In his hyperreal music, Noah Creshevsky often sampled very small segments of digital audio recordings to create a sophisticated pallet of sounds with which to compose. I remember one project where Noah wanted to sample a final chord performed by an ensemble playing music by a Baroque composer and that the chord needed to be a minor triad. We were not able to find such a moment to sample due to the Baroque practice of making the final chord of a piece in a minor key a major triad by raising the third of the triad by a half step, also known as a Picardy cadence. Noah was one of the founders of the Center for Computer Music at Brooklyn College where he was a beloved music instructor. He felt that the most valuable skill that he could teach was ear training. Noah Creshevsky was one of my role models.

You are my only friend who ordered, wild salmon that came in the mail. We loved going to New York to get our hair done by Chenry and you always knew the best places to eat. You cracked me up when we rode the train and you never let your head touch the back of the seat. I admired your friendship with Debbie so, that she also became my big sister.

Corky Lee is a nationally known Chinese-American & Asian-American photographer/activist who passed away from COVID in January. His passing was recognized by CNN, the Washington Post, NY Times, NPR, local NYC news media, etc. A native New Yorker, Corky referred to himself as the "undisputed unofficial Asian American Photographer Laureate" and his photographs documented the daily lives of Asian America. To those in the Asian-American community in NYC, Corky was as ubiquitous and recognized a presence in documenting Asian-American events, as the legendary NY Times' man-on-the-street fashion photographer Bill Cunningham was in documenting fashion in NYC. Corky is sorely missed by those who knew him and a grievous loss to the Asian-American community. I hope you consider this application to add this prominent Asian-American activist's name to the exhibit. Best regards, Ed Leung

In remembrance of my beloved grandmother; she left school aged 13 but I am eternally grateful to her for her wisdom and sense of what really matters. She grew up in poverty but was warm and loving and had huge generosity of spirit; she was sharp, funny and clever but could also be stubborn, feisty and forthright. She loved nothing better than sitting round a table with family and friends, sharing chat, food and wine. Many of my earliest and happiest memories are in her house and garden, standing on a stool helping her make a cake or pinching out tomatoes in her greenhouse. She taught me the names of wild flowers, how to recognise birds from their songs, to darn a sock, the secret to the best Yorkshire pudding and that big sisters always need to look out for their little brothers. I think of her every day.

My grandmother “mama”. I never got to say goodbye to her. 4000 miles was between us, but on the night she died I had a dream of a white duck. She loved everything white- flowers, animals, birds. I like to think it was her soul visiting me to say farewell. In 80’s she showed us kids a picture of tricolour flag and said- this is the real flag of our country, not the one you see around. She would be imprisoned if somebody found out she had it. She secretly listened to Radio Free Europe even though the signals were often jammed by KGB. She spent all her life in a small village, completed only two grades and could barely read. I admire her courage, her complete integrity, and kindness to every living being. I miss her stories, her delicious soups, her laughter, her beautiful Sunday outfits. I will always miss her.

Every word she heard triggered a poem from her memory, which she gladly shared with those around her. A believer in destiny, my grandma truly felt that our paths are predestined and while we should make the most of what one of her favorite poets, Mary Oliver would call our “one wild and precious life,” much of what was to come was outside of our control. She loved fiercely and wholly and in return asked only for remembrance. She died last month of COVID and I wasn't able to be there with her. I'm sharing her story so her memory will live on.

Edward Said

24-09-03

Growing up, Edward Said was a pioneer, and one of mine, and my husband's heros. A Palestinian American, who died in New York, he was a founder of postcolonial studies. He wrote ‘Modern Western Culture is in large part the work of exiles, émigrés, refugees’. He also said ‘I don't remember when exactly I read my first comic book, but I do remember exactly how liberated and subversive I felt as a result.’ Maybe my passion for subversion came from this single line.

Granny Helga

2008

My dear granny Helga. It’s been 12 years since she died and my eyes still fill up with tears whenever I think of her and now as I write this story. As a child I was lucky to have three nanas since my grandad remarried and Granny Helga was technically my step granny but was in my life from day one so I never felt a difference and always felt the most love and warmth from her. It’s the little things you remember and that keep meaning in them. She always gave me a dark chocolate Terry’s orange for Christmas every year - even as an adult and I now can’t eat them. My partner and I were lucky that she was able to come to our wedding and even read a poem. She wore the most beautiful and bold hot pink satin dress and read the poem “Love is| by Adrian Henri. I read the same poem 6 weeks later at her funeral but changed the words to incorporate the Terry Orange.

Baba Chuck Davis

14-05-17

DanceAfrica began in February 1977 with a residency of the Chuck Davis Dance Company in the Lepercq space at BAM. Upon entering, visitors found themselves in the middle of a constructed African village. A note in the 1977 program read: “In essence, you are visitors to our village which is wherever we are. We welcome you with Dyembes (Drums) and Eparoro (Chant). Through the chant we ask that you not only enjoy your stay with us but form with us a comradeship that will remain a lasting association.” And indeed, the association has been long lasting: each subsequent spring has brought a celebration of African identity and heritage to Brooklyn, as DanceAfrica has expanded the metaphorical village into a real community: Baba’s mantra: “Peace, love, and respect for everybody”

departure

Helen Keller

01-06-68

Helen Keller was an author, political and disability activist and lecturer, giving a lecture with her teacher Anne E. Sullivan at BAM on March 19, 1913. She wrote: “We are not free unless the men who frame and execute the laws represent the interests of the lives of the people and no other interest. There has never existed a truly free and democratic nation in the world.”

departure

Frederick Douglass

20-02-95

It is reported that in the nineteenth century, Frederick Douglass was the most photographed person in the US. “In 1863 ( two years after BAM opened) a faction among BAM’s board of directors tried to prevent Douglass from taking the stage. They did so on the utterly spurious grounds that “no black person could take the stage at BAM,” The majority of BAM’s board overruled the denial. Never one to mince words, Douglass began his oration by commenting directly on the scandal. “The day is coming,” he declared, “when Brooklyn will be quite ashamed that any subjection could have been made to a man appearing before it for the purpose of vindicating the cause of justice, of humanity and of liberty.” And throughout his two-hour address, he frequently circled back to the controversy to illustrate his points about the need for the North to be resolute in pushing for black equality.”

Paul Humphrey

21-08-18

Remember when I was small enough to curl onto your lap? Summer evenings tucked in tight. The Magical Faraway Tree as the backdrop to our scene. My earliest partner in crime. Hushed tones in the kitchen, you handing over contraband, pre dinner biscuits or sprinkling an extra spoonful of sugar over my cornflakes with a knowing wink. Your office. The smell of coffee and aftershave. The magic of the stationary cupboard with a free pass to help myself to paper, pens, stamps and ink pads. All the cups of tea you woke me with. All the homework projects that you endured. All the times you palmed me ten pound notes or got me out of financial scrapes. Our evening phone calls and later, when you learned how, text messages. Sometimes perfunctory, sometimes waffled ramblings but always signed off with ‘Love Dad x’ just in case I wasn’t sure. Thanks for it all, I will miss you forever more.

In so doing Sheila and her husband Bill became my whole world. With the 20 passing 2000 years to date 2020, I’ve learnt more and more about Sheila through family research Inc. her teaching French In St Raphael, France, in Mitcham, London, Canterbury. Also from Bill, who cherished and cared for her and hence me, from an early age. More recently from their beautiful daughters; my nieces Sarah and Katie who have been gifted with huge amounts of Sheila’s loving energy, humour and intellect. Her Grandchildren Rosie and Billy barely came to know her and her spirit lives on in them. Shelia will always be loved, her memory cherished and the family’s admiration will continue to bloom.

Ashley Carton

Darling friend, this is an excerpt of what I read at your memorial. I still haven't summoned the strength to swim at Hampstead Ponds without you: Today, we are here to celebrate a beautiful, generous, fiercely intelligent, outrageously funny and fun spirit. As some of you may know, Ashley swam like a fish. Most of us would shriek at the cold, but Ash would just laugh as she fearlessly dived into seas, rivers and lakes. Our shared love of our swimming took us to all sorts of wonderful watery places: we swam in rivers in Suffolk with her dog Vito, in nearby Hampstead ponds, and in the hot springs and very cold waters of Iceland, where we nearly ended up taking an unplanned dip with killer whales on a particularly windy and perilous boat trip. Every other tourist on that whale watching boat was sick apart from ever determined Ashley - the wildness of the sea didn’t rock her.

I was 5 months pregnant at the time he died, and in December I gave birth to his grandchild he was destined to never meet. I painful truth I often ponder on. I honestly am to this day, still in disbelief that he's on this earth no longer. It's a bewildering thing, that a person can be present for all your life, and suddenly... disappear.

My mam; caring, loving, kind, funny, stubborn, complex, torn. She carried trauma through her life, it wouldn't let her be, a damaging religion and dangerous policy only brought her more inner conflict, she tried many times to say goodbye to her pain, and finally did. I wish she'd changed her life instead of taking it away, leaving all the ridiculous rules behind, speaking her truth and following her heart, it could have helped... I wish she was still here. I loved to see her staring at the stars, or writing, or drawing. I wish she'd allowed herself more time to do these things. She was too hard on herself when she was here. I wish I'd known her before but I'm glad I knew her at all. I wish her another life.

I’d like to add my big brother, Jake Shaw, who died suddenly 6 years ago after a freak accident while on his gap year working in Switzerland. Grief is a strange and inexplicable thing, and as more time passes I don’t know if I would say that it gets easier, but it perhaps gets more manageable - yet it can still catch you by surprise and knock you out all over again. We were really really close and I just miss having him around, especially his (often brutal!) sarcastic sense of humour. I remember him now in wide open spaces and incredible views, especially back home in his beloved Peak District, and think of him whenever I hear those iconic opening notes of Toto’s Africa which for some unknown reason he became completely obsessed with.

Not easy to state the change you made. If I'm alive now, then I was dead, Though, like a stone, unbothered by it, Staying put according to habit. You didn't just tow me an inch, no-- Nor leave me to set my small bald eye Skyward again, without hope, of course, Of apprehending blueness, or stars. I didn't know what to make of it. I shone, mice-scaled, and unfolded To pour myself out like a fluid Among bird feet and the stems of plants. I wasn't fooled. I knew you at once. Tree and stone glittered, without shadows. My finger-length grew lucent as glass. I started to bud like a March twig: An arm and a leg, and arm, a leg. From stone to cloud, so I ascended. Now I resemble a sort of god Floating through the air in my soul-shift Pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift.

Canon Anthony Williamson

12-02-19

The Revd Canon Anthony Williamson, a Christian Socialist, had been the Lord Mayor of Oxford and was the leader of the Labour group on Oxfordshire County Council. Ordained as a worker priest, he clocked on as a fork-lift truck driver at the Pressed Steel Car Body factory in Cowley by day for 30 years of his life. Tony drove fork-lifts for 30 years while chairing the factory’s Transport and General Workers’ Union, serving as a city councillor, a priest in Cowley, the first chair of BBC Radio Oxford and eventually our Diocesan Director of Education. Tony passes away from cancer in 2019 at 86 years. Even as he battled cancer he was a real tour-de-force, and until less than a month before his death he was rushing around organising a million things and leading worship. He even joked that the only thing missing from his busy schedule was his departure date.

Geraldine Miriam Walshe

21-01-19

We spent our childhood travelling with Mum, staring at arrival and departure boards that we knew how to navigate better than any suburban bus. Her gift to us was to be brave and plunge into the world outside. Only two months before her final departure she was flying again, this time wheelchair bound, small and white haired. She needed help to navigate but her courage for the unknown was still there. I held her hand for two days while she packed and readied herself to leave one last time, with fragile breaths that struggled to keep time and eventually fell silent. When I think of her I can see her now strong and dark haired, striding across terminals, handling 80s suitcases with broken wheels and her tribe with the same competence. And I think that the best of me is with her.

Taught anthropology down the street at LSE after being blacklisted from American institutions for supporting graduate student workers. Went to Madagascar, saw a society where decisions were made by consensus without the caricature of violence and chaos that prejudices people against anarchism, and told societies like this one it was possible. Recognised the great tragedy of billions of creatives, with their unwritten novels and undiscovered theorems and untapped industry, toiling at factories for the disproportionate benefit of a few. Tweeted about reuniting with estranged family just before passing. Was only married for a year before his death at 59. Survived by his widow and a world better for his provocations of possibility.

She gave up a successful career in the courts to advocate for Earth arguing for the recognition of ecocide in the international criminal code as a crime against peace. The movement to have ecocide included in the Rome Statue has continued after her passing. Support for a law against ecocide has had a recent boost from the French President after his Citizen’s Assembly strongly recommended it. Polly Higgins was a truly charismatic, original thinker and Earth advocate, and a great inspiration to many environmental activists and lovers of Earth.

After decades of depression, we really hoped you finally found the peace you’d been looking for. ‘At peace with God’ is on your gravestone. We’ve missed you hugely for the past 21 years.

After a healthy pregnancy and normally progressing labor, my first child Finlay died just before he was born. Shocked and confused, my partner and I began to mourn his death and our life as grieving parents. Finlay's death certificate arrived on his father's birthday. When trying to reconcile receiving a Death Certificate without being handed a Birth Certificate, I learned that we could request a Certificate of Stillbirth. After 2 attempts to do so, the certificate arrived. It is one of the few official documents we have with Finlay's name on it and, thus, is part of our family archive. Finlay's death and birth are entangled. His sudden departure leaves us with a tangible loss, with grief we will feel for the rest of our lives, and with motivation to increase grief literacy and compassion in our society. - Joanne Zerdy

When the therapist is able to create a safe space with these features, a person can begin to reflect and look at issues in a more healthy way . Being alongside the client and allowing them to lead is incredibly empowering and in my role within mental health I see it as symbolising the idea that we are all doing the best we can in the circumstances that we are in with the skills we have . If we are able to have person centred therapy and this type of environment we can begin to self actual

My head is crowded with complicated memories, recent memories of sitting with her, watching her slowly, peacefully fade during her last hours. Memories of pain, loss, grief, anxiety and extreme stress and heartbreak as the Alzheimer’s slowly marched forward, taking most of her with it over 15 long years.

She was a primary school teacher who was thoroughly committed to children’s education and happiness. Her connection with children was so strong.

Makiko Narumi

Makiko was a mezzo contralto opera singer. She had the most unusual and beautiful voice and it was such a shock to lose her so young, in her early 30s. She is remembered with great warmth.

I chose my beloved cousin's name who died at a car accident in the morning of September, 16 2000. It was 20 years ago when we heard the bad news the week we moved to Istanbul from Ankara as a family. He was an architect. I don't remember him much but I remember him being a good soul who departed early. It was the worst Sunday that I remember so far. I remember not liking the city for that reason. I'm sure he's arrived somewhere good or maybe on an eternal journey. be the light you are. I love you.

Priscilla Whittington

Priscilla fought a courageous battle against cancer. She had many struggles in her life which she overcame with dignity but was often suppressed. So, as she neared the end of her life, I felt privileged to witness the strength of her spirit - illuminated when faced with the end, she was a true warrior and I am proud to say that she was my mother and she taught me not to be afraid of death.

Wild, Untamed, Irish Woman Mam departed aged 80 Here is her own poem that she wrote when she was only a teenager: Come walk with me the moorland and I’ll tell to you my tale. There is gaiety and laughter in it and a love that will never fail. My heart it aches for the Lapland lakes and the silver spray on the shore - but oh I must go on and on, I am a child no more. Though child I was, still yet I knew, that life was all for me. That God had given just to me, the birds, the bees, the flowers and the trees. But some walked by and never saw this beauty, or this fame. But yet, to me, this God, He came. Love you always Mam xxx

Dr Juliusz Kessling

28-08-20

Juliusz was born in Warsaw, where his first memories were of Nazi tanks. Survivor of a Warsaw Uprising explosion that killed a cousin and his grandmother, he was smuggled across immediate post-war frontiers by the Resistance, with his Dentist mother and reunited with his Gulag-survivor father, a Polish Army doctor. Juliusz arrived in England, aged 7, a refugee. He graduated M.B., Ch.B. from St Andrews, worked in Kidderminster, Dover and Canterbury hospitals before spending most of his professional life in General Practice, (with an enduring interest in Psychiatry) in Rochford, Essex and, for over 20 years, in Clapham, South London. His life-long passion for Art found expression in prolific, abstract painting. He was sustained by Art, books, music and love. He died peacefully, after a long illness, in his turn, loved and mourned by many. He leaves two sons, six grandchildren and two gre

Gibran Khalil

10-04-31

I would like to commemorate the loss of one of the greatest philosophers, poets and artists in our history- certainly my native Lebanon’s greatest export! We used his words in the section On Marriage, from his sensational book The Prophet, in the exchange of our wedding vows. Having had a civil ceremony, we were not allowed to reference any religious scripture so the title of the book The Prophet flagged up issues! Gibran Khalil Gibran hated the term ‘philosopher’ to describe himself but, to our advantage, that’s what he is officially classified as, a veritable loophole which allowed us to make our day truly special.

Although jewellery was her main focus she continued to draw and paint throughout her life. We all loved her and miss her, but she lives on in our memory. Kate

Fazal Noor

AUG-2001

In Kashmir, a midwife in a small isolated village. My “dadi” (grandma, father mother) was like her name, Noor (Light) for many birthing people and mothers. She cared for them in labour, ensured the doctor attended to administer pain relief when needed, but gave the full body massage and support through labour mor many a pregnant person. She gave postnatal care, support and massages to help in postnatal recovery too. These were skills passed on from women, to help women in their birth. The ultimate continuity of care is when you help different generations of the same family birth, like my “Dadi” Fazal Noor did prior to retiring

Lavinia Harris

26-07-20

My mother's story is probably best told by parts of my daughter's Eulogy for her: "When asking my cousins to share memories of Nana, every single person used the word ‘supportive’. She was one of the most loving and supportive women we’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing and even more importantly able call Nana......... She had some incredible quirks, from always making sure we would ‘spend a penny’ before leaving the house. To her most recent and most genius one, of managing to get a wine prescription. I’m convinced that’s her secret to reaching 93, and will definitely be following her advice. "

Charles J R Clarke

01-11-99

Charles James Richmond Clarke died of cancer aged 57 less than 8 weeks after diagnosis. He loved to walk but hated new fangled hiking equipment: as a result he looked like something out of a Victorian hiking guide when he strode across rainy landscapes. He loved his two daughters, Eleanor and Laura, and his wife Anne and was very much loved in return - not only by his family but also by those he worked with, from whom letters poured in when he died. He loved to take and to look at photographs. He assumed a comical half swat position when he took a group shot. He left behind a moldy box of negatives and slides in the garage that he had never shown to us during his lifetime and which narrowly escaped being thrown away. I have since shown these as part of my work, in a piece called 'Some Places I Have Never Been to.'

My dad was born during the great smog of 1952. The smog along the Thames was so dense his father recalled having to feel his way along the buildings when returning home from the maternity hospital to meet his new son. Dad’s final departure 63 years later was also by the Thames at St Thomas’ Hospital. So I feel really close to my Dad by the river.

Margaret Catchpole

14-03-62

The reason I have chosen Margaret Catchpole is because she resonates on several levels - she’s from Suffolk, where I have the only family connections to my English Heritage (all others being Jewish and Eastern European/Spanish), she was the most famous, first midwife in Australia and her name, Margaret, is the same as Saint Margaret, the Patron Saint of Women in Childbirth, and because she was a kick-ass woman with a brilliant life-story. She was born illegitimate, uneducated, but still managed to have an amazing life - she stole a horse, escaped from prison, was shipped to Australia, became a midwife, never married or had children and ended up managing a large farm on her own as a ‘settler’ in Australia.

Jon Underwood

27-06-17

I met Jon Underwood in October of 2016. Jon founded Death Cafe together with his Mum Sue Barsky-Reid in late 2011 and it has become a world movement inviting people to meet for tea, cake and the opportunity to talk about death. At the time I met Jon I had already been to several Death Cafe’s and had been involved in facilitating a couple. I was surprised, not only by his height (as a six foot woman I rarely have to crane my neck to talk to someone in a small corridor as I did that evening) but by his unassuming nature and his gentleness. I guess I had unconsciously presumed that the person who had begun a movement as challenging as Death Cafes would be themselves challenging to meet, but Jon was easy to be around.
