A Tribute To Lynda Phillips
More sad news, unfortunately, readers. This time it comes from campaigner Debbie Sayers who shared it in the Disability Community UK Facebook group.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but is my sad duty to inform you all that one of our members Lynda Phillips has passed away. She was an amazing lady and a campaigner fighting against the unfair so called reforms often more than was good for her… Her contribution will not be forgotten RIP Lynda… Dxxx
As with Lotte Ryan, I didn’t know Lynda Phillips. However, with Lynda Phillips I shared membership of the Disability Community UK Facebook group, as well as over 50 Facebook friends.
My thoughts are with her family and all her offline connections, as well as the friends we shared.
Our community is a strong one in which personal connections are unnecessary. In this community we feel every loss as strongly as the last. Every name is remembered, every contribution, however small, is valued forever.
With great sadness, readers, I have written two tribute posts in two days. I have been reminded that in our strong, special community, tributes and deaths and the loss of friends are things we must get used to. Death and loss are the hardest things, for me, about being disabled- but in our little world, they are very ‘normal’ things.
We need to dry our tears of sadness and dust off our broken hearts, readers, and carry on fighting to make things better for those who are left in our community- and for those yet to join it.
RIP Lynda Phillips.

Reblogged this on Britain Isn't Eating and commented:
Its always a sad occassion when we lose a friend, real or virtual, and I offer my codolences to her family and everyone else that knew her.
It maddens me that in the latter years or months of our lives, we are all fighting our own government for justice and fairness for the paltry amount in benefits that allow us to scrimp and scape and eke out an existence in this country.

A6er and the rest,,,some of us for our sons and daughters too.. both adult or young.no true parent can see their kids suffer if they can alleviate it in some way no matter how small. such a pity most adults don’t have that too in these trying times. most can only give a shoulder or listening ear to them. R.I.P Lynda.
