Pārdomā un atceries - 23. marts 2021

Since the first lockdown began in 2020, hundreds of thousands of people have died. Too many lives have been cut short and millions have been bereaved.

Behind the statistics and whatever the cause, every death has been devastating for the people left behind.

Please join together on 23 Marts, the first anniversary of the first UK lockdown, for a National Day of Reflection to reflect on our collective loss, support those who’ve been bereaved, and hope for a brighter future.

There are still tough times ahead, as the death toll continues to rise. This annual day will give us all time to pause and think about the unprecedented loss we are facing, and support each other through grief in the years to come.

At 12 noon please join the nationwide minute’s silence to reflect and remember and later at 8pm come together to light up the night. Stand outside with a light – a candle, a torch, even your phoneto remember someone who’s died and show your support to people going through a bereavement. Alternatīvi, jūs varat atspīdēt gaismu savā logā, lai visi to redzētu.

Varat arī sazināties ar kādu pazīstamu cilvēku, kurš pārdzīvo sēras vai sāpes, atrodot laiku, lai izsauktu viņu uz tērzēšanu, sūtot ziedus vai uzrakstot karti - dodot viņiem zināt, ka viņi un viņu mīļais nav aizmirsti.

Nacionālo pārdomu dienu rīko Marijas Kirī labdarības organizācija, un sīkāka informācija ir atrodama viņu vietnē www.mariecurie.org.uk
