25.01.2022 I lost my child today. People came to weep and cry, as I just sat and stared, dry eyed. They struggled to find words to say, to try and make the pain go away, ...I walked the floor in disbelief, I lost my child today. I lost my child last month. Most of the people went away, some still call and some still stay. I wait to wake up from this dream. This can't be real. I want to scream. Yet everything is locked inside, God, help me, I want to die. I lost my child last month. I lost my child last year. Now people who had come, have gone. I sit and struggle all day long. To bear the pain so deep inside. And now my friends just question, Why? Why does this mother not move on? Just sits and sings the same old song. Good heavens, it has been so long. I lost my child last year. Time has not moved on for me. The numbness it has disappeared. My eyes have now cried many tears. I see the look upon your face, "She must move on and leave this place." Yet I am trapped right here in time. The song’s the same, as is the rhyme. I lost my child... Today. Words Netta Wilson July is Bereaved Parent’s Month.

19.01.2022 Trigger Warning: a link to a beautiful podcast series on stories of loss. #breakthesilence

19.01.2022 Please send an email to Casey if you are interested in sharing your story with her. My name is Casey, and I’m studying for my Masters in Writing with Swinburne University of Technology. I’m a mother to an angel; our boy, Owen, was stillborn just over 7 years ago. I also have friends who have sadly experienced stillbirth and miscarriages. As such, I’m quite passionate about this topic, and I’ve chosen to focus on it as the topic for my two major essays for my current classes. ...While the first will be primarily autobiographical, the second piece is a research based essay. I’ll be using some information that I research, but I would also like to incorporate experiences from other parents of loss; if I can hear from fathers, as well as mothers, that would be wonderful, as you guys experiences this pain just as much as us mothers do. Your voices aren’t heard enough. If you feel comfortable sharing your experiences, be it as in depth or as short as you wish, anonymous or named, please feel free to email me at [email protected] See more

19.01.2022 Would anybody be interested in a coffee meet up? A chance to meet other bereaved parents but a good way to contribute to ideas for the upcoming WALK to Remember. Sat arvo? OR sun arvo?

14.01.2022 I remember when I started this blog all the way back. I’d known for a while that the process I went through when we lost Riley wasn’t healthy and my hope was t...o share my experiences so that it would be helpful to others in a similar situation. What I probably never prepared myself for was just how many individuals were struggling with grief and loss. Parents, grandparents, friends, relatives, I would often get messages asking for support and guidance on just how to navigate this space. One of the most common questions I encountered over the journey was actually from people who had close friends or family lose a child. How do I approach my (insert relative here) who has just lost a child?’ I wanted to share a recent experience which has since stuck with me and given me a solid answer to this question. So yesterday I was lucky enough to have a chat for more than an hour with a lady who lost her son. He was a toddler and his passing was as unexpected as it was heart wrenching. She talked about how difficult the process of losing a child was and how she’d actually lost entire friendships on the back of becoming a bereaved parent. She told me how hurtful it was that on more than one occasion she’d be walking down the street and she would spot a friend in the distance walking towards her, only to then see them actively cross the road to avoid having a conversation with her - not out of malice - but because they genuinely didn’t know what to say. I tried to play devil’s advocate and asked her if perhaps they were conscious of saying the wrong thing and hurting her feelings? What she said next hit me hard. But I just wanted them to say hello? Sometimes as friends, we get so hung up on being perfect and avoiding saying the wrong thing in a time of crisis that we end up not saying anything. In times of loss, grief and hardship there is no one size fits all approach that will be perfect for any situation. Grief fucking sucks. What sucks even harder though is that feeling of being abandoned on an island and seeing plane after plane fly over without providing any support. Don’t try and be the perfect friend. Just be a friend. You got this -D-1

13.01.2022 Posting Sands online support groups for this month below including our group for Pregnancy After Loss.

12.01.2022 Every year 106,000 Australian babies lose their lives to miscarriage, stillbirth or newborn death. With this loss comes grief and heartache often accompanied... by isolation and stigma. Sands in partnership with five other organisations is inviting Australian bereaved families and their loved ones to add their baby’s name to a virtual memorial quilt, which will help illustrate to the wider community, the size of the issue and the impact that pregnancy and infant loss has on the lives of those left behind. We’re calling this project ‘Lullabies and Loss’ and we invite you to submit a message of remembrance, love or hope to your baby, which we’ll represent on a digital square on the online quilt, to be launched on October 15th 2020, International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. We then hope to be able to take this important piece of work around Australia early in the new year. To create your personal memorial tile for the quilt, please visit the Lullabies and Loss website. Submissions will be accepted during the month of September www.lullabiesandloss.org.au

03.01.2022 Bereaved families know that children grieve the loss of a brother or sister acutely, and that even children born after the loss of a baby can feel a deep connec...tion with the missing sibling they never met. We want to do more to support the children in the Sands community, and so we're trialling a community playdate designed for preschoolers and primary-aged children to join in activities and get to know others who are also missing a special someone from their family. Due to COVID-19 our initial playdates will be virtual ones - taking place on the 5th, 9th and 18th of July. For more information and to register: https://www.sands.org.au/Event/community-playdate
