Fund more support for parents who have lost a child through an unexplained death

My son Liam Ralph Shepherd died on 23 March 2021 in his sleep aged 11 from an unexplained death (SUDC). As Liam's death was not a police matter nor was he sick, I've had little support. I have PTSD and have had to beg to go on a 6-month waiting list. I've gone private with money raised for me.

Bereaved parents have to chase, beg or go private to seek help, as grief alone is not classed as a mental health issue but support is needed, it is a postcode lottery and the way your child passed away as to what support is available and support needs to be in place for every bereaved parent straight away and not left to chase themselves if they have PTSD or not.
