recurrent miscarriage – The Legacy of Leo

#DiversityInLoss – I find it too painful to bare my broken heart to people

I think overall the shock and disbelief I felt after our first loss has just been compounded with more shock and grief over the years. I still can't believe this is our life, that after four pregnancies our home is still so quiet. That we have two graves to tend to.

#DiversityInLoss – Every day I struggle with the thought that someone else has a baby and I don’t.

Leaving the hospital last time after lots of scans, blood tests, arms full of letters and leaflets I felt the strongest I had felt after any of the other miscarriages, because I knew I had a support network I could turn to.

LGBT Baby Loss | A Mission of Mine

I love my children and my wife with all my heart and couldn't dream of my life being any other way. I will never ever forget the children that I lost, but the journey has made me even more grateful.
