My Dad is in hospital again with pneumonia & because he was in isolation at his care home & he's confused - we haven't been able to see him/speak to him in 2 wks. Mum told Dr to tell him we love him & are thinking of him all the time. This whole situation is really bloody hard 💔

My miscarriages have had a huge impact on my mental health. It's hard to express exactly how you feel but it's so important to talk so others don't feel alone. My heart will always be a little broken from my losses and I'm still finding my way through it.
#TimeToTalkDay
Today is
#TimeToTalkDay

* Ideally no Zooms post 3pm
* 1 day a week with barely any Zooms (had this yest & was so productive & inbox 0)
* Guilt free breaks
* Saying no. I said no to an external thing I really wanted to do but knew would be too much
