Welcome to Jacinta’s Smile
Our Mission
We are trying to solve the hurtful experiences of Sibling Bereavement and the adverse affects on children and young adults following the death of a sibling.
Our mission is to ensure that all children and young people in Ireland that have lost a sibling can access support regardless of location or personal circumstances.
Support for Bereaved Siblings
We provide tailored specific individual therapy for young children (ages 7–17) and young adults (ages 18–25) who have lost a brother or sister.
We believe in the power of being understood by others who have been through a sibling’s death.
We believe in continued support from each other and towards each other.
We believe in becoming the person we were becoming before the deaths changed our lives forever. We believe in living with these deaths and moving with them to the best of our abilities.
We are in this together.

Wish You Were Here
We feel that there is so much left unsaid when we lose a child, what we would like to say to each of them is so unique from the other.
