Bereavement support
Give in memory
Most people expect to be upset or distressed when someone close to them has died. What takes many people by surprise is how strong the emotions can be, how they can change very quickly and how long they last. People around you may seem to think you should be ‘back to normal’ after a few weeks or months. You might appear to be your usual self to other people, but you know that on the inside, you’re not even sure what normal is anymore.

Kenneth's story
Give in memory
“It was back in 2016 or 2017. I was getting a pair of sunglasses, they asked me in and within five minutes they’d told me there was bleeding at the back of my left eye. Within the hour I was at Kidderminster hospital.

Why include us in your Will
Tell us about your career as a retinal specialist:
“I’ve been a consultant ophthalmologist for 22 years, and I’m the Director of the Clinical Eye Research Centre in Liverpool. I trained in Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds as an ophthalmologist, but I made it clear that I wanted not only to bring the clinical element to my profession, but the research side too. So I’ve always been actively involved in research, which is also at the heart of our profession.

Q8 - Accelerating research is going to cost a lot of money, isn’t it? Where will that come from?
Answer: Yes, research is expensive, but we are wholeheartedly committed to strengthening and expanding our involvement in the years to come. Money will come from a variety of places but it’s fair to say that we will get there quicker with the help of our donors and members, and especially those kind people who leave a donation to research in their Will. It is such a generous and significant thing for someone to do. Every donor is important to us, and I would like to thank everyone who has ever given and anyone thinking about doing so. It is safe to say that all our colleagues at the Macular Society feel the same and we are grateful to everyone joining us in the fight to Beat Macular Disease.
