A daydream about a walk with a three year old Leo
Goodbye, for now, Leo.
The thought of planning a funeral for Leo terrified me from the moment I realised we were going to have to have a funeral. What on earth does a baby funeral look like?
Compassion
Thank you - whoever you are - for looking out for our baby boy. I feel safe having him there, with his new friends and their amazing families.
Happy Valentines Day, Little Leo
A world full of love Leo, for you. If only you stayed.
Support – where do you get yours?
For us, having a stillbirth in what I can only describe as "stillbirth awareness month" in the UK media is a mixture of good and bad.
Oh, my Little Leo
How do you actually wake up one morning and bury your child, and in the same day, leave him to rest and carry on walking?
What is ‘coping’?
So, instincts prevailed. Just do as your mind and body tell you. For what else is there to do?
A Positive in all the Negative
From the moment we got to delivery suite we were able to "own" this experience and made the decision, subconsciously, that if this was how this had to go down, we'd make it what we wanted it to be.
A mini closure?
It's like the due date passing has 'closed' my period of thinking that I should still be pregnant, and would be, if only he hadn't died.
What is right, when this is so wrong?
For me, it really is a case of 'I have no idea what is right in this situation, so how would anyone else' therefore, there really can be no wrong thing to say.
