Baby loss touches both parents, though grief can look different for each.
Some talk, some withdraw. Some cry, some keep busy.
If you’re grieving alongside your partner, remember: there’s no right way. Be gentle with yourself, and with each other. 💞

Your baby’s light is part of you. Even when others forget, your love carries them forward. And here, they will always be remembered.🏮

Even in the hardest waves, there are moments of stillness. Be gentle with yourself until calm returns. 💙

💙📚 Back to School Reflections 📚💙

As the new school term begins, many parents are preparing uniforms, sharpening pencils and taking those all-important “first day back” photos.

But for some families in our community, this time of year can carry a heavy weight.

✨ It might be the reminder of a child who should have been in that class, standing proudly in their new uniform.
✨ It might be seeing the flood of “back to school” pictures online when you don’t have one to share.
✨ It might be the quiet that follows once older children are back in class — leaving more space for grief to rise after the busy distraction of the summer holidays.
✨ For those who’ve experienced a more recent loss, the shift in routine can feel especially overwhelming, as the reality of what’s missing sinks in even deeper.

If you’re finding this time hard, please know you are not alone. Your feelings are valid, whether they come as tears, anger, numbness, or simply a deep ache.

We see you. We hold space for you. 💙

If you need support, reach out — to a trusted friend, to us or to someone who understands the journey you are on.

You never have to walk this path alone.

It’s National Rainbow Baby Day! 🌈
We see you all. The ones that were blessed with rainbows and the ones that weren’t.
The rainbow represents the beauty after the storm but it doesn’t erase that the storm happened.

TW -Miscarriage

Although its never a pleasant topic for people to discuss,its vitally important that the conversations are had.

So people dont feel alone in their loss and in their grief.

So having public figures and celebrities share their stories raises the awareness which can only be a good thing.
