💙 Hold Them Close — Today & Every Day 💙

The other day I was clearing out my son’s cupboard and found baby photos of both my kids. And other things that moved me. I sat there thinking crying…..how beautiful my babies were 💙.

I also found an old video camera with a tape (thanks to Chick I can’t charge it cos it’s from Lanzarote 😂) of Lauren taking her first footsteps, my gran and pop having a wee moony and a clip of me and my Pop singing You’ll Never Walk Alone with a Union Jack behind me…❤️😂. If you know you know. Just seeing it all again. The tears were flowing.

The past seven months have been hard — COVID twice, hospital cancer tests, and other family things behind the scenes that I won’t share. I burnt myself out, but I’m dusting myself off and slowly will ease my way back into Lauren’s Law - Asthma Campaign

I’m proud to have come off a certain medication that was holding me back. After six years of numbness, my emotions are raw again.

Today feels lighter. Nothing beats Callum Beattie blasting doing housework. A Big walk with Layla this morning, then a lovely chicken roast with Marc at my mum’s later.

I am an angel mum to Lauren but also mum to a 27 year old son who many of you don’t know. I love them both to the stars and back. Family really is everything. Hold the ones you love close, and never forget to tell them you love them 💙

Asthma and Allergy Foundation remember Lauren.

Please always remember to carry your inhalers 🙏💙

Yesterday 11/2/2026, marked a poignant anniversary—six years ago at 1 PM, Lauren Reid’s life support was switched off. Elaine, we cannot begin to imagine the unimaginable pain you felt as a parent making that heart-breaking decision. You fought for every moment with Lauren, and as she slowly slipped away, the song "Angels" by Robbie Williams played—a beautiful sign of her presence and love, the song you now have as your sign you say that your Angel is with you forever

In Lauren's memory, we want to emphasise the importance of always carrying your inhaler. No one should ever have to endure the loss of a loved one to an asthma attack.

Let’s honour Lauren’s legacy by prioritising asthma awareness and safety. Please remember to carry your inhaler in her memory. 💙

Lauren Reid is home. Watch and wait for the evidence.

I never posted this video thinking I may have got a message from Lauren via my friend Amanda Aitken on New Cumnock Online Spiritual Sanctuary & Bereavement counselling. church zoom tonight.

And I did. Amanda thank you for the amazing evidence that Lauren’s around me.

I never told anyone but mum and Darcy about the lights and here’s the evidence she is home. As Amanda said….

She played with them all day yesterday. It’s a small sensor light in hall for night. Layla was in bed so no other explanation why. I was a wee bit freaked I must admit lol.

But so glad I caught it in time. I love when she does things on command. Like the lights and chat down at Vollie.

Thank you Amanda and thank you Lauren. Mum feels some comfort knowing you’re around me.

I need to try and eat and sleep now as I’ve done not much of either past few days.

Goodnight all and thanks again for all your words of comfort 🙏💙

🕯️LEAVE A CANDLE OR LIGHT YOUR OWN SHOULD YOU LIKE TO REMEMBER OUR GIRL🕯️

For Lauren Reid my beautiful guardian angel and best friend

Six years have passed since that last goodbye,
The morning you left, never knowing why.
You tied up your hair, you chased your dream,
A chef so proud — so young, so keen.

Asthma whispered, then cardiac arrest. Like a lion it roared
And stole you from the life you adored.
They say you died doing what you loved,
But love doesn’t soften the loss thereof.

Forever 19, my shining star,
No distance dims just who you are.
I’ll miss you till my final breath,
Beyond the years, beyond the death.

Love mum & Layla 💙

Ambulances are still a big PTSD trigger for me after losing my beautiful daughter Lauren at 19. That sound, those lights… they take me straight back, and I don’t think that feeling will ever fully leave me. Grief like this becomes part of who you are.

But a friend said something that made me pause. An ambulance isn’t always rushing to take someone away… it’s rushing to save someone. To help someone breathe. To give someone another chance.

That’s hard for my heart to hold sometimes, but I’m trying to see it that way — that those lights might mean hope for another family, even if they bring back pain for me.

If only she carried her inhaler that day

PLEASE ALWAYS REMEMBER TO CARRY YOUR INHALERS 💙

A POEM FOR OOR LAUREN💙

In Scotland’s air sae wild an free,
Where hills meet sky an restless sea,
A gentle soul still walks wi’ licht,
Through memory’s glow, through day an nicht.

Like Burns wha spoke wi’ fire inside,
Wi’ truth an love he didnae hide,
Sae Lauren Reid, sae kind, sae bright,
Still warms oor hearts, still shines her licht.

Her story lives, it travels far,
Like northern glow, like guiding star,
In Laurens name we see,
Her love lives on for aye to be.

Through tartan skies an heathered land,
Her love still guides wi’ unseen hand,
For souls like hers ne’er fade away,
They bide wi’ us, in heart, each day.

Today always makes me think of my time at the spiritual retreat at Volly House in Dumfries. It used to be an old pub that Rabbie Burns himself was said to visit, and honestly, the moment you walked through the door, you could feel the energy and the presence there. It was one of those places that just wrapped around you — so warm, so comforting, so special.

It was also such an important place spiritually for Lauren, some of her strongest and funniest work was done there, and that will always stay in my heart.

And even more so the friends and memories made down there with the best bunch of people. I’m laughing now at all the fun times we shared 😂

HAPPY BURNS DAY 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙

As Lauren’s 25th heavenly birthday comes quietly to an end, I can finally rest. 💙
It’s been a long, emotional day, but one filled with so much love for my beautiful wee girl.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to every single person who remembered Lauren today and wished her a happy 25th birthday. Your messages, kindness, and love have brought comfort on a day that will always hurt.

My heart is still broken — it always will be without my wee girl — but tonight I feel gently held by the love shown for her.

Goodnight, my precious angel Lauren Reid It’s time to come home for a visit and sit with mum in the quiet, Show me some signs your here💙✨

My heart feels like it’s been torn in two all over again tonight as Lauren’s 25th birthday comes tomorrow. She’s a quarter of a century wow. It’s been one of the toughest days since Lauren went to heaven today with so many hurdles to jump and when tomorrow comes. I know exactly what happens 3 weeks later.

Her balloons are ordered as always from the lovely Lesley at Happy Daze Balloons Two for the bench and one for heaven we will let go from her brick at Ibrox.

DPD has lost her present. Which was a new Salix tree for her bench. So bloody angry and upset at that.!

Just wish I could sleep for weeks and wake up when it’s all over.

I apologise if I haven’t answered any pm’s just now, i honestly just don’t have any mojo in me for anything. But thought best let everyone know at once on here where I’ve been.

I know also how quiet I have been with Lauren’s law and I apologise whole heartedly. Covid kicked my butt, the road back to recovery has been long, and the cancer tests kicked my mh as I had so many mixed emotions. gained weight, lost weight, MH gets bad, gained weight……slowly I need to get both physical and mental health back at the same time. Hence no videos being made.

After Lauren’s anniversary in 3 weeks I aim to have my socks pulled up higher than Simon Cowell’s belt.

To my mum I’m sorry for everything you are going through with us but know how much we love you and wouldn’t be here without you. I hear Lauren singing “Things can only get better”. And it will. I promise we will get there as a family through all the difficult weeks ahead for the 3 of us.
Just as Lauren would want.

And to my angel Lauren just know how much you are still loved and missed beyond words. And thank you for the signs even though you scared us at times, we know it’s you…..always watching over us all.

Goodnight everyone. Stay safe, happy and healthy and most of all remember your inhaler as well as Lauren on her birthday tomorrow please 💙

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone when it comes.

This is the first year I have managed to put a Christmas tree and decorations up since I lost Lauren. It’s been emotional feeling empty and lost sometimes but one day at a time is all we can do.

As this year comes to an end, I won’t lie — it’s been a tough couple months on Christmas especially brings a lot of emotions, and I’m missing Lauren more than words can ever say. There’s an empty space that will always be there.

But as we look ahead to a new year, I’m choosing hope. Hope that the coming months will be kinder, brighter, and filled with moments of peace and happiness. I’m looking forward to spending time with the people I love, and who love me, and holding those moments close.

I hope everyone manages to find a little comfort, love, and joy over the festive period, whatever that looks like for you. Be gentle with yourselves, cherish those around you, and take each day as it comes.

Wishing you all a lovely Christmas and a healthier, happier New Year 💙

PS Thank you all for your private messages while I took some time away from social media to work on being a better me again. Your kindness means the world and I promise I will get back to everyone individually in time. 🙏💙
