Life After Baby Loss – My Story
Yesterday marked 6 weeks from us taking Silver down to the chapel of rest at the RVI in Newcastle. We’d had five nights with her in the NICU in flats which are used for parents preparing to take their NICU baby home whilst having the nurses nearby in case any incident did occur. It was…

If you’ve read my “Our Story” you’ll know I am blessed with a beautiful little boy called Beau. Now the first thing I have to say is this may trigger some people but please let me explain. I absolutely love my little boy to pieces but he is still a toddler going through the terrible…

I thought it would be appropriate to write about what I’m going through right now and delve into the back story as and when I feel emotionally ready. You can however check out my personal instagram @rainbow_and_angel_mummy to get most of the story so far. This weekend was a tough part of our journey with…

So I’ve decided to start a blog. To be honest, I really wish I’d done it sooner because I’ve already been on a very long difficult and amazing journey. For now I’ll simply cover the basics and perhaps go into more detail in some later posts. I am 24 years old, married to Fabian in…
