'They are there to help families, in whichever way they wish, and to look after your child as you would look after him or her at home. When the end of a child's life is near they will be there to support you, helping you to do things the way you want to, in whatever way that may be, with a quiet and dignified reverence. Some children have died elsewhere, but have come back to the hospice before the funeral, enabling the care team to support the family and help with any arrangements.'
