tommys – 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.

"I feel like there is still a big assumption of ‘oh well, it happens" & the more people accept that as true, then the less motivation there is for society to care..." Siobhan, from @tommys_baby for the #ItStillTakesAVillageBlogSeries
