devastated. Hearts broken. Lives changed. Families will grieve.
Not being able to talk about our loss can make us feel guilty, ashamed & extremely lonely. It can stop us reaching out for support or for advice for future pregnancies.

So lets stop encouraging people not to share their pregnancy news until their 12 week scan 'just in case'! If their baby dies they will need support!!
Let's stop demonising those grieving & label them as attention seekers.
Let's stop comparing experiences...grief

I have been quiet of late, much thinking though. I have awoken from my dormant state by news that #BabyLossAwareness week will be marked with a documentary
I have very, very mixed feelings about this. I have seen the comments from participants urging critics to wait and see and not believe the 'media hype' about the film.
I have no doubt of the sincerity of these pleas. I find it difficult though to support a film based on highly questionable ethics no matter the aim it hopes to achieve.
