Monday was National Rainbow Baby Day, and I'm a little late posting here. These days can be polarising and I tend to keep my experience and reflections of grief close to my heart.

But as grief has softened and become my intimate companion, I'm reminded of our responsibility and sacred duty to bring death and grief out of the shadows.

My experience is this, I deeply love and treasure my rainbow baby, Mabel Bee, I feel so much joy, gratitude and profound contentment. Laughter and playfulness fills our home and I still cry in the shower and some nights as I drift off to sleep thinking of Honey. This has been a big unravelling for me, how my heart holds it all, my love, my grief, my sadness, my joy ~ life does not fit into the neatness of one or the other, Honey's death broke my heart and it also opened my heart, showing me the expansiveness of life itself. For me I find comfort in this expansive place, beyond judgement, it's a place where everything just is, where I allow myself to be.

And to those who have grief in their hearts and a rainbow baby in their arms, to those pregnant with their rainbow baby, anxiously awaiting their safe arrival, to those grieving and dealing with infertility and waiting for their rainbow, to those trying to conceive and hoping for their rainbow, to those who aren't TTC because they are still grieving the death of a baby, to those without a rainbow baby and to those who are all of these and no matter what, will always be grieving. I'm sending you all so much tenderness and love, I see you.

Today’s International Bereaved Mother’s Day ~ this is me 27 weeks pregnant with my first daughter Honey. She died 2 months later in the womb. Honey was with me for almost 9 months, she went with me to work, she was with me in women’s circles, she camped under the stars with me on top of a mountain, she swam in the ocean with me, she went to yoga with me, she heard my voice, she heard me singing and drumming, she felt my hands touching her through my belly, she heard her daddy’s voice and laughter, and felt his hands on my belly. She heard my heart beating and felt the immense love I have for her. I held her in my arms and kissed her cheeks and I never got to hear her voice or see her looking at me. My heart longs for her everyday and I feel her with me too. She made me a mother. I love you Honey 💛✨

Happy 2nd birthday Honey 💛 It’s been 2 years since I gave birth to you and held you in my arms, my heart breaking open. It’s taken me two years to share your story. But I’m ready to share your gifts, your love and your wisdom. I want people to know your name, to know that you are my first daughter and to know how much we love you, how much we miss you, how your short life changed us forever. Today I woke, just before your birth time, my body knows you and your birth so deeply and it carries some of your cells, you are always with me, my sweet Honey. 💛🐝✨

Hygieia Health Ltd have been listening to pregnant women, birthing women and women post-partum, during this global pandemic. In response to the emerging needs of these women, Hygieia Health has created a Hotline. The Hotline is serviced by Birth Workers (including midwives, doulas, birth keepers, mothers) from around Australia. This is a ‘woman to woman’ volunteer support service.
The Hotline is open from 6am-10pm to speak with a Birth worker. Birth workers will provide non-urgent pregnancy, birth and post-partum support and advice to women who call, based on the Birth Worker’s knowledge and skill set, working from the premise of the professional ethos Birth Workers are educated in.
Another Hotline is open from 10pm-6am to speak with a Midwife. Midwives will provide more urgent pregnancy, birth and post-partum support and advice to women who call, based on the Midwives knowledge and skill set, working from the premise of the professional ethos Midwives are educated in.
We have been listening and we are answering your call.
For any questions, please contact Frederique Van Poppel at Fmvanpoppel@gmail.com.
HOTLINE: 0482 468 007 – with Birth workers open 6am-10pm daily AEST
