My re-potted window plants look very smart in their terracotta pots. A pleasant change from plastic. 4. Cups of tea in the rocking chair after … Continue reading 5 happy things 11

What do you think? http://pin.it/gGl_6Ap I liked this because it wasn't full of saccharine terms like Angelversary, which is always prone to make me cringe. Here are some other good ideas from Still Standing magazine. Ways to Honour your child.
It is now 6 months since we lost Emmet. I've learned a lot about myself in this time. And I've learnt a lot about love. Lessons I never thought I'd learn. I miss them more than I ever thought possible.
I cannot tell you how much the charity Sayinggoodbye have helped me in the last 6 months

What do you call a laughing piano? A. A Yamaha-ha... I know. Terrible. Point is I find … Continue reading Things can only get better
I haven't posted any of these in a while. I'm in the middle of that crazy area of life they call A level preperation, so posts could get a bit thin on the ground till after June but I will try my best.
I’m not usually the sort of person to take on a cause, I’m happy to leave it to other people to fight for something important whilst I donate money or sign a petition. But, it is time for me to do something about the lack of positive stories and celebration of lives like mine with no ‘happy ending baby’. Moaning about it won’t change anything (at 36 I’ve only just realised this!).
I’ve decided as there are few resources or inspirational stories offered by the mainstream support groups in the U.K. for mums like me who will never have a ‘happy ending baby’ that I’m going to change this, together we will change this.
If you would like me to feature your story of living with hope after loss please email me at naomipickett@icloud.com. I’d love to share how you are living life after loss, what your (non-baby related) hopes…

In the UK twenty five different charities including, Child Bereavement Uk, Bliss, Sands, Tommys, Aching Arms and CMV Action work together on the project; as well as a time to remember loved ones the charities campaign to ‘break the silence’ on the subject and aim to actively raise awareness of baby/child loss.
Reading the words of bereaved parents describing how important it was that their loss was acknowledged by friends, family, the wider community makes one fully appreciate one…
