I am freelance. None of the places I have worked this month have paid me. I came out of my son's Nativity today to text messages from every bank account and credit card I have saying everything has bounced. This is intolerable. What more can we do? How are we meant to survive?

Our baby girl was stillborn at 6.5 months, 2 years ago today. Send out a little thought today for Lula, so she is not forgotten. And if you feel like supporting other parents of stillborn babies, our local hospital charity @SuperSouthmead takes donations. They are amazing

There should be a ‘grieving mother’ badge (or maybe just a ‘grieving hard’ one). No words. Something small you can fix to you clothing, so that if you are grieving hard but trying to be normal and work and shop and stuff, other people know to be just a little bit kinder to you.
