“We want people to say, because of Adam’s Rose I didn’t give up.”

On Friday 7th December 2018, our worlds fell apart when Adam was rushed into hospital. Something that should have been a simple trip to A&E resulted in a rare medical emergency that in the blink of an eye resulted in us losing our amazing Adam just after midnight. It was a nightmare we were never to wake up from.

That night we lost a husband, a daddy to be, a son, a brother and a dear friend to so many and everyone he met. But not only did we lose something so special to us, the world lost one of the most kind and giving people who would always put helping others in need and their happiness above his own.

The grief that struck following losing Adam was unbearable and what followed for those closest to him, and in particular his wife who was expecting their first child, was the biggest storm they would ever have to face, and one that still continues on each day.

Adams wife made him a final promise, to find the strength to bring their daughter into this world and on 27th February 2019 Adam and Victoria’s little miracle Alice-Rose was born.

The journey that is faced, and that anyone suffering from grief has to face is a long, hard, dark and testing one however what losing Adam has taught us is that it’s one that should never have to be taken alone.

Support can’t fix what is broken, or make the storm go away but it can be a hand to hold throughout and help keep heads above water when they need it most.

Adam dedicated his whole life to helping others and that is why Adam’s Rose charity is a heartfelt tribute to his legacy. To support Spouses, parents and siblings who are plunged into grief.

Adam’s Rose charity is dedicated to supporting Spouses, Parents and Siblings who are experiencing grief. We know that when true grief takes its hold, there is nothing that can stop it, however knowing that you aren’t alone, have a community of supportive people around you who have been or are going through similar daily struggles and even just having a distraction from the grief that is suffocating you can be more valuable than anything in the world.

Adam’s rose receives referrals from both local authorities including the NHS and funeral homes and directly either from someone who is bereaved or a family or friend who has referred them as they think they could do with a helping hand. Currently supporting those in Godmanchester, Brampton, Buckden, and St Neots we hope to soon expand the geographical region we cover to support and help more and more people suffering from grief.
