LauraLynn understands that bereavement through the death of a child can be difficult, complex, emotional, physical and practical struggle to cope with.

A core pillar of what we do is caring for the dying child and family.

Here at LauraLynn we know that children with life-limiting conditions may have symptoms that are difficult to manage and distressing for both the child and family.

A fundamental principle of children’s hospice care is that support is provided not only to the child but to the whole family.

At the core of what we do, is our ability to offer direct care and support to children and their families in recognition that the impact of caring for a child with a life-limiting condition is far reaching.

LauraLynn believes that all children with palliative care needs should be able to access our hospice supports.

LauraLynn, Ireland’s Children’s Hospice, formally known as the Children’s Sunshine Home, history began as far back as 1925 when Dr Ella Webb, a pioneering Dublin paediatrician of her time, treated many cases of children with rickets.
