Sharing my new normal type of motherhood
I'm not really sure how to put this year's feelings into words. It's 4 days before Christmas and this year's festivities have been flooded with heartache and the fact that we will always have 1 of our children missing from our arms. She will never be here to help put the baubles on the tree [...]
I’ve been feeling a bit off lately - like that feeling you get when the grief wave hits but this felt different somehow - I couldn’t work out why until I realised that subconsciously this would be the year our wee Francesca would be starting school this week. And it hit me like a ton [...]
I have really missed writing in my wee blog but I just couldn’t find my way back to it amongst the covid sh** show that had been the last couple of years. Like many others dealing with the loss of their child I had to work out a way to cope with the darkness and [...]

"No parent can ever imagine having to be told that their baby has died at a stage where they are preparing for a life with their newborn. The shock and numbness is unimaginable.

I've noticed that recently became a bit unsure of the direction my blog is going in because i'm a bit unsure about life in general at the moment to be honest. I have no clue who I am or what my main purpose is in life anymore. I've found myself reaching the grand old age [...]
Being A Parent When my partner started this Guest blog series I wanted to contribute aswell by writing a piece for all the dads out there who might relate to my story of fatherhood. These last few weeks have got me thinking what does it mean to be a parent? I think you become a [...]
