Through this wild journey of loss, healing, and growth, there have been some huge ups and some really deep downs. Honestly, there were times I didn’t know if I was coming or going. Relationships and friendships have felt confusing, difficult, and draining… but also incredibly beautiful, comforting, and healing.

I’ve learned that when I didn’t like myself, it was hard to like others, and that’s something I had to sit with and grow from: But this ride, as wild as it’s been, has become one of real growth. Slowly but surely, it’s led me to a place of peace and happiness I never knew existed.

Along the way, I’ve had some truly profound moments. And I’ve met some truly incredible people, people who have shown up, added value, and added quiet beauty into my life when I didn’t even know I needed it.

One of those people is Steffi. She is the safest of safe places, someone who warms my soul, makes me belly laugh, and lets me be my true self (yes, even the vegetable-growing, messy-haired, open-hearted version of me). Even better… she gets on board with it! We’ve sat reflecting on some really dark moments together, had the rawest of conversations, and now I have the absolute honour of being part of one of the brightest moments in her life.

So here’s to saying YES to being your bridesmaid, Steffi!

And to anyone walking through the darkness right now, hold on. The light does come back. Beauty can, and does, grow in the darkest of places.

💬 Let’s Talk About… Pity

This week, I had a conversation that really stayed with me.

Someone shared with me that they’ve been finding it hard to open up about their loss, because whenever they do, they’re met with pity. And that has left them feeling even more isolated.

It made me reflect deeply, because I’ve felt that too.

And here’s something I believe: Pity is an ugly emotional expression.

It might come from a place of good intention, but it lacks true empathy and compassion. It feels dismissive. Belittling. Like the person on the receiving end is being looked down on, rather than truly seen or understood.

It’s a surface-level reaction, and when you’re grieving something as life-altering as baby loss, surface-level just doesn’t feel safe. We need depth. Connection. Safety.

But… I also want to hold space for another truth.

Sometimes, what feels like pity can be shaped by our own mindset in the moment. When we are hurt, broken, or feeling fragile, even kindness can feel patronising. That doesn’t make our reaction wrong, it just makes it human. Pity is a complicated thing.

It can feel like it holds no value, and yet carry so much emotional weight.

I don’t have the answer but I do believe we need to talk about this more.

If you’ve felt pity after your loss, how did it affect you?

What did you need instead?

I’d love to hear your thoughts 🤍

To the dads who hold their children in their hearts, not their arms,

We see you.

The love you carry, the grief you quietly hold, and the strength you show, even when you’re hurting doesn’t go unnoticed.

Those moments when you’ve kept going, offered support, or simply got through the day… we appreciate you.

You are a father.

Not because of what others can see, but because of everything you carry inside, the hopes, the dreams, and the love that began the moment you knew they existed.

Today, we honour your grief.

We honour your fatherhood.

We honour your strength.

And we honour your baby.

This Father’s Day, we’re thinking of you and as always, we’re standing beside you.

With Love,

Miscarriage Mumma

I received a lovely message from this gent the other day telling me about his fundraiser and to say I’m grateful is an understatement!

We have a huge demand for care packs at the minute with very little funds, so this has been music to my ears.

Thank you David ❤️

To the mothers who carry the weight of grief, who wake each day with an ache that never leaves, who have loved and lost in ways the world will never fully understand. We see you.

To the mothers who whisper their baby’s name into the quiet, longing for just one moment, one touch, one breath. We hear you.

To the mothers whose arms feel painfully empty, yet whose love knows no bounds. You are a mother.

To the mothers navigating a world that keeps turning while it feels shattered, fighting to carrying on as normal each day, trying to rebuild, or just trying to survive. You are stronger than you know.

To the mothers who feel invisible, silenced by a society that doesn’t always acknowledge their motherhood. We recognise you, we honour you.

To the mothers facing the unknown, wondering if joy will ever return, if the pain will ever soften. We walk beside you.

To the mothers who would give anything to hold their baby, to feel their warmth, to see their eyes. You are not alone.

Your grief is love. You matter. Your baby matters. And today, as always, we honour you as the strong, devoted mothers you are.

An Apology, a Reflection, and a Reminder!

I want to take a moment to say—I’m sorry. In my effort to provide support through Miscarriage Mumma, I now see that I sometimes approached healing the way I’ve approached much of life: as something to be fixed, as a set of steps to follow. But grief doesn’t work that way. Healing isn’t a to-do list. And no one should ever feel like they’re falling behind in their own journey.

In my latest blog, I share my reflections on productivity, comparison, and what truly matters when navigating loss. If you’ve ever felt pressure to keep moving, to “do better,” or to heal on someone else’s timeline, I hope these words remind you—you are enough, exactly as you are.

Sending love, always. ❤️
