A baby has been born in the United Kingdom to a woman who was born without a womb.

For Ms Bell, pregnancy was never supposed to be possible.
She received a womb transplant from a deceased donor in a complex, carefully planned surgery. After recovery and fertility treatment, she became pregnant. Now, she’s given birth to a healthy baby.

This marks a major milestone for the UK and for women born without a uterus. Until recently, the only options were surrogacy or adoption. Now, carrying their own pregnancy is becoming possible.
The surgery is rare and still highly specialised. It requires anti-rejection medication and close medical monitoring. This birth shows what modern medicine can achieve.

Ms Bell, said she thinks of her womb donor every day and hopes her family "find some peace in knowing their daughter gave me the biggest gift, the gift of life".

"There are no words to say thank you enough to my donor and her family"

There’s a particular kind of grief that often goes unnamed. It’s not the grief of losing someone we love or even the grief that accompanies a devastating diagnosis.

Jim Carrey once said: Grief is not just an emotion—it’s an unraveling, a space where something once lived but is now gone. It carves through you, leaving a hollow ache where love once resided.

In the beginning, it feels unbearable, like a wound that will never close. But over time, the raw edges begin to mend. The pain softens, but the imprint remains—a quiet reminder of what once was. The truth is, you never truly "move on." You move with it. The love you had does not disappear; it transforms. It lingers in the echoes of laughter, in the warmth of old memories, in the silent moments where you still reach for what is no longer there. And that’s okay.

Grief is not a burden to be hidden. It is not a weakness to be ashamed of. It is the deepest proof that love existed, that something beautiful once touched your life. So let yourself feel it. Let yourself mourn. Let yourself remember.

There is no timeline, no “right” way to grieve. Some days will be heavy, and some will feel lighter. Some moments will bring unexpected waves of sadness, while others will fill you with gratitude for the love you were lucky enough to experience.

Honor your grief, for it is sacred. It is a testament to the depth of your heart. And in time, through the pain, you will find healing—not because you have forgotten, but because you have learned how to carry both love and loss together.

💭 Is technology making grieving processes easier? Here's 4 ways technology may help us with grief.

💻 Virtual funerals
Online attendance at funerals is becoming increasingly popular. If a loved one lives in a different country or is too unwell to travel then joining virtually is a good alternative.

💛 Online groups
Social media is full of grief and support groups. These are great places to share experiences and receive advice from people going through similar emotions.

📱 Video calls
Video calling has enabled many people to speak to their dying loved one to say a final goodbye. Something they might not have been able to do in time without technology.

🤔 Grief bots (AI)
Now this may not be for everyone. AI scientists have have started to develop grief bots, so using data from a person’s life to create an avatar of that person, the bereaved can message and receive responses from their loved one.

Remember grief is different for everyone. You can find more information or support on our website: https://www.mariecurie.org.uk/help/support

I don't really feel like talking
I lost someone close to me
There are just some things
Your eyes cannot unsee

Excuse me if I am quiet
I don't have much to say
I haven't been the same
Not since that painful day

The world is too loud now
My heart cannot cope
It's broken, I'm afraid
And there is no antidote

So for now,
Home is where I'll stay
Attending to my heart
Safe and tucked away
