Gone but never forgotten. Luan you’re our one true love.

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.

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.

“People would practically take you where you wanted to go, when you asked them for directions”.
"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"

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

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

JW appeared as the pandemic was exploding all around us. I almost wasn't allowed to be there for his birth.

Life moved forward, and we didn't stop to look back.

My son was born on 3/13/20. His first day happened to be the same day that many people remember as their “last” - their last day of in-person school, their last day in the office. His first year on earth has been unexpectedly challenging, but at the same time unimaginably rewarding and beautiful. He is our shining light amid the darkness.

Luca Zavian Remnek
02-09-20
Luca Zavian Remnek was born on September 2nd, measuring 8 lbs 12 oz. and 21 inches.
Luca and Zavian both mean light, with Latin and Arabic roots.
Luca's hebrew name is Lior Barzilai ליאור בַרְזִלַּי. Lior means "my light" and Barzilai means "man of iron." Iron in french is Fer. F-E-R pays tribute to the matriarchal lineage of 3 great grandmothers: Florence (Katia Remnek's mom), Evelyn (Richard Remnek's mom), and Ruth (Debbie Dinner's mom). The B in Barzilai is for Belle (Dan Dinner's grandma, Luca's great great grandma). Barzilai brings together these 4 matriarchs to honor them and share their best attributes with Luca.
This bright, beautiful child, born during the COVID pandemic, is imbued with light and strength. He is the light of our lives and may he be a light to the world!
With unconditional love from his proud parents,
Stacey Dinner and Alexi Remnek

Shawn Caleb Martin
20-10-20
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.

Edith Atherton

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.

When Angela Davis spoke at BAM’s annual Martin Luther King Jr. celebration in 2014, she said that “We cannot afford to believe that we inhabit a post-racial society. Racism is more entrenched in the economic, social, political, educational, correctional structure of this country than ever before in our history.” Davis reminds us that we are part of a historical continuum to excise racism. 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.

The first time we held her was at 13 days old when our little fighter survived her tough start. We named her Willow, which was perfect for her as a symbol of healing. We are so incredibly lucky & thankful to have her in our lives - she is a life giving spirit. Forever grateful to the angels who cared for her at Kings #NHSHeroes

For nine months and two days we had awaited her arrival, through winter when she was hidden behind woollen jumpers, to spring where we were required to isolate from friends and family by ‘staying at home’. Her first days were spent by a sun drenched window facing Westminster, the streets starkly empty, the politicians gone. Then all at once the bridge was filled with BLM protesters, a sudden sign of hope for the world in to which she had come.

He filled my corners, seamlessly and endlessly. He is not perfect, but he is the most real element of my life, the reason why the world has stop spinning with no rationale and has started to slowly turn with me. He is my love, and I am so thankful he arrived.

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.

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.

Hydropsyche tobiasi
1938
1980 unternahm Hans Malicky Suchexpeditionen an den Rheinufern bei Bonn, Bad Säckingen, Wiesbaden-Schierstein, Oppenheim und Ingelheim am Rhein, die jedoch erfolglos blieben. Im 20. Jahrhundert wurde der Rhein durch städtische und industrielle Verschmutzung stark beeinträchtigt, was zum Verschwinden vieler Köcherfliegenarten führte.
departure
Bolyeria multocarinata
1974
Als Grund für ihr Verschwinden wird Lebensraumverlust aufgrund der Bodenerosion angenommen, die durch die Überweidung durch Ziegen und Kaninchen verursacht wurde.
departure
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.

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. Happy memories

She was 92, our mum
It doesn’t matter her age
Who defines a good innings?
She was robbed of life
Her last year
Shielded from a virus
Engulfed by loneliness
Her heart was sinking
Breaking, broken
No more friends popping by
No more days out
No wider family to lift her spirits
The company that makes life worth living
She’d lived through war
Through evacuation
Through black outs
No desire to be phased out
Her hair, still raven not all grey
Her gait, unsteady not paralysed
Her hearing, dulled but not silenced
Her mind, still curious, still sharp
Still yearning
For time
For words not yet spoken
For joy
She cried ‘I’m not ready to die’
In the grips of death
She thought it untimely, unkindly
No, she wasn’t ready to die
Nor us, to say goodbye.

I visited Devon recently with his grave marker saying simply ‘Gone fishing’. My dad and I were actually very alike. I now understand the loss of a parent who somehow you think will always be there.

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.

My Grandad (James William, but always Bill) was the light of my life when I was a girl, and I of his. 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.

June and I met more than 50 years ago when we both worked at B.P. Chemicals head office, but I only really got to know her when we had a heart-to-heart chat in a café at Victoria station waiting for the points to be unfrozen. Although she told me early on in our romance that her favorite piece of music was one of the variations in Rachmaninov's Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini, I was only reminded that Rachmaninov's music was used in the film Brief Encounter when choosing the music to be played while we had our time of reflection before June's cremation - a case of life (almost) following art.

This was my beautiful, caring, cheeky grandfather who passed away last year at 94. Pop used to address letters to me with 'Dear Buckingham Palace'. I wasn't able to be there in person for his funeral but I sang 'My Way' (his favourite song) with my sisters on Zoom and recorded it for the funeral celebration. He was my last grandparent left and I'll miss him dearly.

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.

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.

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.

On the good days we watched films, and one day he chose ‘Beaches’ which I hadn’t seen.

Only over time I've come to realise how much she was a centrepiece of our extended family life.

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

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 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."

For What It’s Worth,
13 shillings and threepence.
A small sum for a small boy with a weakened leg,
Born on the blanket’s other side,
Stained with all the possibility of life’s opportunities:
Happiness, heartache, challenge and mirth,
What is a life worth?
‘Every Good Boy Deserves Favour’,
The Clef, the Stave, the Signature of Time,
And the black and white keys that created a stairway to Heaven from Earth,
What is a life worth?
Five children, nine grand ones, several great grands, more maybe,
Certainly enough for a legacy,
The constant cycle of death to birth,
What is a life worth?
Generosity, kindness, a gentle morality,
The care, the protection, the unconditional love,
The man who became more than the price of his birth,
That’s what a life is worth.

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.

Ciao Mammina Bella
Il tuo cuore grande ha smesso di respirare. Adesso sei con l’amato Claudio.
Questo mi rasserena anche se non stato facile lasciarti assopire serena nelle sue mani.
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. Lo sai però – e stai tranquilla – che mi accompagna un “caring” partner e tante sono le persone che mi vogliono un gran bel bene.

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.

She arrived and departed at the same moment, declining to breathe and live on her own once separated from her mother. Her existence and her mother's visible grief inspired many women to tell the stories of their of their lost babies, unheld and unnamed, because they were told at the time of the loss it was better to be silent and to forget. Annie touched many lives in this way and allowed grief to unthaw and be processed.

As the days go by, it does not get any easier to live without Mami, so we continue to honor and make Mami proud. I think of Mami all the time, all of the lessons, traditions, that she taught us and we are now passing onto our children. My brothers and I were blessed to have been raised by a single mother in Bushwick during the worsts of times, the 80s. We owe everything we are to Mami who ensured that we would be successful no matter the environment or what society said. Mami's last words to me were, "Thank you.", no Mami, thank you for all of your sacrifices and for being yourself, unapologetically. A few days before Mami's transition, she said that her job was done, that she was tired, my brain understands, but my heart will forever ache. Bendicion Mami, Yvette.
