Laura and Steve launched the charity after seeing how a personal tragedy affected their son
Two Lincoln parents who suffered the heartbreak of losing a baby have launched a charity to help young siblings through their grief.
The charity packs will help children like Conner who had to deal with the death of his baby brother Edison. He is pictured with his sister Poppy.

However the second most was having to tell his older brother Conner that Edison would not be coming home with us.
Laura and Steve wanted to fill that gap by creating sibling support packs which are provided to Lincoln County Hospital and the neonatal unit in Nottingham, who then distribute them to other local hospitals, including Boston Pilgrim. There are also packs for SEND children adapted with alternative explanations. Families can choose from a range of books to best support their individual circumstances.
She added: "At that point in time when we told him, you could see the absolute devastation on his face. The charity has also set up a support group for families in Lincolnshire which was activated this week and can be found. They are also hoping to create in person support groups in Lincolnshire in the future.
