The best birthday present I could have asked for…🎂…our 6 day old baby girl (still to be named!) ❤️🌈
After losing our daughter Lila in 2020, fertility issues and two further losses, she is truly our little miracle 🌈

A year ago today, we lost our beautiful daughter Lila. She looked so much like her big sister, and not a day goes by where I don’t wonder what her life would have been like. We love you so much, little one. ❤️
@tainab
I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of Cora. Thank you for sharing her story - I’ll light a candle for her ❤️ We lost our daughter Lila a year ago on Wed. From my experience the pain doesn’t get any less intense, but at some point it does begin to stop being the only thing you feel.
Was your baby born before you got to hospital? Did paramedics support you in giving birth? Are you based in the South West? I’m looking for people to advise on my new project on ‘birth before arrival’. You’ll be reimbursed for your time! Interested? Email laura.goodwin

Today’s been tough. I’ve felt intense pain, despair, helplessness & anger. But I’ve also flown a kite on the beach, cuddled my loved ones, & laughed. Most importantly, I’ve given myself permission to feel what I feel - and those around me have supported it.
