Two weeks ago I had a missed miscarriage at 12.5 weeks. After seeing and hearing a strong heartbeat at our 10 week appointment we were devastated to see no HB at our 12 week scan. This would have been our second child as we have a 2 yr old boy. We don't want to forget our baby that we never got to...

My grandmother whom my children (4y & 5y) were very close to passed away suddenly but peacefully. I would like them to attend the funeral (cremation) for closure and out of respect. They want to attend. Friends have expressed surprise and disapproval at my decision. Looking for thoughts of...

My heart skipped a beat. My throat contracted. The fluid left my mouth, and all I could taste was metal. Why? – I hear you say. I realised it was nearing the end of July, we were heading into August. August brings with it a lot of pain. – For me. It’s a month I would rather skip. That way I don’t have to feel the pain. The pain knowing that I will never celebrate your birthday with you . Knowing...

Today I had the pleasure of meeting a beautiful human. I must share my experience with you. As most of you know my family own an Educational business and that is where I work. Today a man was waiting to pay at the counter, I turned to see him waiting and I apologised profusely. I felt both embarrassed and unprofessional as I was engaging in a conversation with another staff member whilst he...

Dearest Nanny, who we miss so much... As we sit remembering you, Grandad shares the moment he set his eyes on you, he was sitting on the sidelines at a ballroom watching you, you were dancing so beautifully, so gracefully – you took his breath away . Grandad leaned over close to his mates ear and says “I’ll marry that girl” his mate gave him a quizzical look and says ‘how do you know that? You...

It’s been an emotional rollercoaster of a week for me – coming to a real climax today… Last weekend, I was blessed to be in Melbourne for a book release. It was my first time flying to Melbourne and the time spent with family was precious. The book that was released is titled ‘Heartbreakingly Beautiful’ which is the perfect description! It is ’52 week devotional journey of hope, inspired by the...

The image above is quite a confronting image for me as it looks exactly like my son’s feet. This is not a photo of him, I have lots of photo’s, I do wish I had one like this though. Don’t say NOTHING - Please don’t pretend it has happened and say nothing.. Just say - ”I’m sorry for your loss” or ”I’m here if you” Don’t say - ”It’s better that way” or “It’s natures way” or refer to the baby as an...

My friend has lost her husband, suddenly, unexpectedly. They were moving back home (Cairns) to be with his Mother as she was not coping with the death of her husband just 6 weeks before. They wanted to be here to support her and be there for her. They spent their last night together at their going away party laughing and having fun. The next morning she tried to wake him and he never woke.. That...

From the moment our kids were born we have spoken about their big brother in heaven. It was very important to my husband and I that Titan’s memory lived on and that Maya and Tex knew as much as they possibly could about their big brother. At various ages we covered his death and funeral and tried the best we could to answer question they may have. We were driving along the other day and Maya...
