HELLO

Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to visit our blog – this is the story of Leo Phoenix, and what followed his birth.

We are passionate about sharing the honest truth of baby loss, stillbirth, miscarriage and pregnancy after loss. Together we fundraise and campaign for better awareness and support for organisations that have helped us to heal.

If you find yourself here following similar experiences, know that you are not alone and go gentle on yourself.

Please feel free to drop me a comment, or connect on social media whatever your experiences.

Thank you,
Jess – just one of Leo’s mums
