I am jealous! If a cafe trip is involved too, that’s my favourite way to spend a day!

But when you’re older, nights out might be the only time you bother with your appearance so those pictures are the only ones your vanity will let you choose for profile pics. You don’t need to get mardy about it, dude 😏

From one bereaved mum to another, sending love on a tough milestone day. I hope it’s passing calmly and that there are good memories to help you through xx

I absolutely wrecked mine bending to pick up a box with a few shampoos in. So 40s going as expected here too.

Missed milestone day, one I’ve been dreading. Today my lovely girl should be getting her GCSE results. She’s been gone 3 years and it remains unfathomable that she’s gone. She’d have smashed it in all likelihood 💔 Miss you infinitely beautiful Floss 💛 #grief #bereavedparent #childloss

Crikey that is so minging and sore looking, you poor thing. What a random injury. Rest up, swift recovery ❤️‍🩹 xx

You asked the question on International Cat Day, and so it would be disrespectful and ignorant to the cat distribution system to not get her. She is gorgeous, get her 🤍

I know that I'm getting old because I'm increasingly finding that the clothes in places like Zara, H&M and River Island are absolutely preposterous whereas the stuff in M&S is pretty cool.

God I know. And the classism, sexism, racism. All really cringe inducing. But with the recent book, she tried to be woke and it was so dreadful so I still prefer the wince.

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning
Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

I think this is normal. I definitely do it but not remotely ashamed of it.

I’m sure back when your Nonno’s sister died, society was even more rubbish at dealing with complex grief like child loss than it is now. I understand the urge to retreat. But everyone copes differently, and things morph over time in terms of what’s bearable in my experience.

Caroline @carolinenewson.bsky.social · 24/04/2026
I fully get this. Maybe they are, maybe they aren’t. But you can only grieve the way you feel able to on that day. And anyone judging you can frankly f**k off. Child loss is lonely and few truly understand it (luckily).

Caroline @carolinenewson.bsky.social · 23/04/2026
Definitely, I have a list of them in my head. 🙄😩

Caroline @carolinenewson.bsky.social · 22/04/2026
In the early days and weeks after Flossie died, I had a very strong sense that I needed to find parents like me, specifically who’d lost adolescent children to suicide. It’s so very complex and “I can’t imagine” responses used to really grate on me 💔

Hi Katie. I’m a cis mum from England and I know you’re looking for people with more in common with you. But as someone who’s also lost a teen, I’m here if you ever need a listening ear. I’m so sorry that you find yourself in the club no one wants to join 💔 #bereavedparent

Three years today, we lost Flossie. Struggling with the unfairness that I never get to see her grow up. Her younger sister is now older than she ever got to be 💔 #childloss 💛 #forever13
