25.01.2022 Beautiful words from Lauren Dubois On that first night, when the hospital falls quiet and you're sitting in your bed, staring at this hours-old person you made,... it's hard to absorb exactly what's happened to you. Let me tell you. Your child was born. And so were you. You became a mum. Yes, you. It's so weird, isn't it? People keep calling you 'Mum' and you're like, 'But Mum is a woman called Penny who still calls me to remind me to send birthday cards to people and sends me articles like "Why Bottled Water Is Bad For You" . . . so I can't be "Mum", can I?' Yep, you can. The title Mother is given instantly. The baby is handed to you, and hello - you are a Mother. But the transition to 'Mum' takes a little longer. When a baby is born, we celebrate the baby. This little life, so new to the world, is loved and cherished by all. But we don't celebrate the other birth - the birth of the mother.

25.01.2022 Often in the workshops I offer we talk a lot about communication and what to say and what not to say and how communicating with bereaved parents is more than ...just the words we say. Too often we get tangled up and focus on getting the words right, but sometimes we just need to slow it all down and just be present. Sometimes there are just no words..... but our gentle, compassionate care can speak volumes.

24.01.2022 Difficult to pick but some days just one of the 3 would be good

15.01.2022 It is parental leave, not baby leave, and parents of stillborn babies are parents

12.01.2022 This conversation is very familiar at the moment

12.01.2022 This is my life

11.01.2022 It never hurts to let someone know they are doing a great job

10.01.2022 Another early morning

05.01.2022 If you cried this week because the exhaustion was so physical your limbs felt like lead. If you felt stretched, pulled between the needs of different children, ...and guilty that you simply didn’t have enough energy. If you’re struggling with depression or anxiety and wondering when you’ll start feeling yourself again. If you’re just holding on, juggling work and life and your relationship and lurching between coffee and wine. Remember this: to your children, you are the world. You are the world.
