The outpouring of love over the past few days has been truly overwhelming. It has shown so clearly just how deeply she was loved and admired, and the incredible mark she left on so many lives.

So many of you have asked if there is a collection and what you can do to help. Please know that you already have. Your kindness, your messages, your support - it meant everything, and it made such a difference while Josie was still here. You gave her joy, comfort, and moments she will always have carried with her. You truly helped make her dreams come true.

Right now, the only thing I can think of is supporting Laith and the girls as they try to navigate life without her. For over three years, Laith has been by Josie’s side as her full-time carer, while also caring for their daughters. He is truly amazing. She worried so much about the financial strain and about making sure they would be okay. Sadly, there was no life insurance in place, which adds another layer of worry at an already devastating time.

The reality he now faces is unimaginable - a kind of pain and responsibility none of us would ever wish to understand. And alongside that grief, there are still immediate, practical challenges. In just a couple of weeks, they won’t have a car, and somehow, in the middle of everything, he has to face that too 💔

If you feel able to help, I’ve set up a JustGiving page to try and ease even a small part of that burden.
