I started an apprenticeship with the Child Bereavement Charity on February 14th 2011.

Alex was really excited and happy for me as I had dropped out of 6th Form just before Christmas and she was concerned that I wouldn't do anything worth while with my life.

We joked around and promised that I would attend the bereavement training that is manditory when working at the Child Bereavement Charity, and that I would be her grief counsellor (as she had lost her mother 3 years ago at that time) and that I would train her so that she would become an excellent young person's counsellor - as that was her career plan at the time.

Little did I know my life would crumble a month later . . .
