Firstly, I am so sorry you have stumbled onto our part of the internet. The baby loss community is a place few want to visit and no-one wants to join. We too never imagined ourselves here, yet here we both are. You may have experienced loss yourself or you might be here in support of a family member or friend (we thank you), either way I hope by sharing our journey we can offer you a moment of: support, hope, understanding or all three.
We started this website only months after Liam died. Until then we had been incredibly private people. However, we felt an overwhelming need to share our story and hopefully remove some of the stigma surrounding the death of a baby and grieving the loss of a child. We hope by adding our story to the drops that have already fallen in the ‘digital’ ocean we will help create a wave of change, understanding and support.
This is our journey through the minefield of grief, life after loss and parenting after loss. We have been thrust here by a pre-term birth at 24 weeks and 3 days, caused by an incompetent cervix, that resulted in the death of our son Liam after a one week battle in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Liam may not be a physical part of our family any more but our promise to him is that Mummy, Daddy, his big brother and little sister will do everything we can to keep his memory alive. There will not be a single second of any day where we do not think of and love you Liam because you were small but mighty and absolutely perfect.
