Have you experienced the death of a sibling? Or has a child of yours experienced it?

'Jacinta's Smile' is a registered charity in the Midlands, set up by three sisters who had sadly lost three other of their own siblings in the 10 years previous.

The O'Toole sisters recognised the need for a support service and the charity -  named after their late sister Jacinta - was born.

Aishleen O'Toole was a guest on 'Deise Today' with Maria McCann this morning talking about the group and her experience of loss.
