Miscarriage Mumma Support, Dursley (2026)

What if the thing we’re chasing… isn’t what we actually need?

So often we strive for perfection. But what really is perfection?

The truth is, “perfect” is always moving. Our expectations change. Society’s pressures change. Our lives evolve. The goalposts shift again and again, yet we keep running the race toward something that never truly stays the same.

Perfection is often just perception and our perceptions are constantly shaped by what we see, hear and feel.

So if you’ve been striving for perfection lately, it might be worth asking yourself:

Is it perfection I want… or connection?

Connection with yourself.

Connection with others.

Connection with your life.

When we connect with ourselves, we build confidence, boundaries and self-respect. We begin to understand what we need and what truly matters.

When we connect with others, we create safety, support and a sense that we are not alone.

When we connect with our lives, understanding what serves us and what holds us back, we open the door to growth, change and healing.

And often, that sense of calm, pride and security that connection brings…

feels far more perfect than perfection ever could.

So the next time you’re worrying about how others might perceive you, whether you’ve achieved enough today, whether your home, your outfit, or your life looks “perfect”… pause for a moment and ask yourself:

Whose definition of perfect am I chasing?

Connection holds us through the heavy moments. It supports us when we’re grieving, struggling, healing or simply trying to get through the day.

Many times, I’ve spoken about Wilber and the emotional support he’s been for me. In all honesty, he has been my safety blanket for 11 years and truly changed the course of my life.

Without him, I’d probably still be working in an office role, 9–5. I loved my puppy so much that I set up a doggy daycare just so I could spend all my time with him and along the way, I made some incredible friends.

In every bad moment, Wilber was there. Cool, calm, and collected. Grounding me in a way I had never known before. He was such a beautiful soul.

He was my counsellor, my snuggle buddy, my best friend, and my sidekick. Always dependable. Always predictable. Always unconditional.

That’s not to say he wasn’t also a little git at times, emptying bins and stealing any food in sight, but he was my little git.

I was so taken aback by how many messages I received after yesterday’s story, with people remembering his name simply from me talking about him over the years. That meant more than I can put into words.

I will forever be grateful to Wilber for holding me up throughout my losses, for sitting with me in my grief, and for being the kindest, most loyal soul I could have ever wished for.

Thank you, my beautiful boy. You carried me when I didn’t know how to stand on my own 🤍

What Baby Loss Taught Me…

Loss changed the way I see the world. It showed me how fragile life is, how quickly everything can shift, and how important it is to keep growing no matter what.

One of the greatest lessons it gave me is that time is more meaningful than anything money can buy. Time to heal. Time to connect. Time to love. When someone gives you their time, they’re giving you a part of their life they’ll never get back.

I’ve also learned to understand that pain isn’t always loud. Some of the deepest struggles are silent, hidden behind smiles, distance, or endless giving. So please check on the quiet ones, the ones who always show up for others, the ones who are distancing themselves.

One thing I struggled with was that life carries on, even when yours feels like it has stopped. It’s a harsh truth, but it’s also a gentle promise: if life keeps moving, we will too.

Important Reminder: Energy must be mutual. Titles, roles, or expectations don’t equal entitlement. You are allowed to choose peace over chaos.

And lastly, trauma is not a free pass. It explains our hurt, but it doesn’t justify hurting others. Healing is our responsibility, even when it feels impossible.

❤️ To anyone in the midst of grief I’m sending you love.

❤️ To those working through trauma I salute your strength.

❤️ To those struggling in silence please, message me. You don’t have to do this alone.

❤️🙏🏻

💗 Baby Loss Awareness Week 2025 💗

This year feels a little different for me personally. With changes in work and family life, I’ve had less time to dedicate to Miscarriage Mumma Support. Care packs are running low and funds are stretched thin, but my heart is still very much here.

Even when MMS has to take a backseat, I can never let Baby Loss Awareness Week pass without acknowledging it. Awareness spreads so powerfully online, and each share, like, and comment keeps the conversation going for those of us who know this grief too well.

To everyone touched by this uniquely complicated loss, are seen, you are loved, and you are never alone. 🕯️

Today is a tender, complex, and deeply personal day.

For some, it is a day of gratitude, holding their baby in their arms and reflecting on the light that followed so many storms. For others, it is another reminder of waiting, of hoping, of grieving for the baby they long to meet.

Wherever you find yourself today, please know you are not alone. To those still waiting for their rainbow, our hearts are with you, we see the strength it takes to keep going, month after month, with hope that can feel so heavy to carry. To those anxiously walking through pregnancy after loss, we hold space for the fear and the longing that comes with your pregnancy. And to those holding their rainbow babies, we honour the journey it took to reach this moment, knowing it will never erase the little ones who came before.

Rainbow Baby Day is not just about celebrating new life, but also about acknowledging the love, the loss, and the resilience of every parent touched by baby loss.

Wherever you are, however this day meets you, we see you, we honour you, and we are sending love to you. May one day you get your own happy ending, however that may look for you. 🤍🌈

I wanted to share this incase anyone wanted to share their experience.

Always remember, raising issues and speaking out isn’t about berating or belittling, it’s about growth, highlighting problems and provoking change ❤️

Through this wild journey of loss, healing, and growth, there have been some huge ups and some really deep downs. Honestly, there were times I didn’t know if I was coming or going. Relationships and friendships have felt confusing, difficult, and draining… but also incredibly beautiful, comforting, and healing.

I’ve learned that when I didn’t like myself, it was hard to like others, and that’s something I had to sit with and grow from: But this ride, as wild as it’s been, has become one of real growth. Slowly but surely, it’s led me to a place of peace and happiness I never knew existed.

Along the way, I’ve had some truly profound moments. And I’ve met some truly incredible people, people who have shown up, added value, and added quiet beauty into my life when I didn’t even know I needed it.

One of those people is Steffi. She is the safest of safe places, someone who warms my soul, makes me belly laugh, and lets me be my true self (yes, even the vegetable-growing, messy-haired, open-hearted version of me). Even better… she gets on board with it! We’ve sat reflecting on some really dark moments together, had the rawest of conversations, and now I have the absolute honour of being part of one of the brightest moments in her life.

So here’s to saying YES to being your bridesmaid, Steffi!

And to anyone walking through the darkness right now, hold on. The light does come back. Beauty can, and does, grow in the darkest of places.

💬 Let’s Talk About… Pity

This week, I had a conversation that really stayed with me.

Someone shared with me that they’ve been finding it hard to open up about their loss, because whenever they do, they’re met with pity. And that has left them feeling even more isolated.

It made me reflect deeply, because I’ve felt that too.

And here’s something I believe: Pity is an ugly emotional expression.

It might come from a place of good intention, but it lacks true empathy and compassion. It feels dismissive. Belittling. Like the person on the receiving end is being looked down on, rather than truly seen or understood.

It’s a surface-level reaction, and when you’re grieving something as life-altering as baby loss, surface-level just doesn’t feel safe. We need depth. Connection. Safety.

But… I also want to hold space for another truth.

Sometimes, what feels like pity can be shaped by our own mindset in the moment. When we are hurt, broken, or feeling fragile, even kindness can feel patronising. That doesn’t make our reaction wrong, it just makes it human. Pity is a complicated thing.

It can feel like it holds no value, and yet carry so much emotional weight.

I don’t have the answer but I do believe we need to talk about this more.

If you’ve felt pity after your loss, how did it affect you?

What did you need instead?

I’d love to hear your thoughts 🤍

To the dads who hold their children in their hearts, not their arms,

We see you.

The love you carry, the grief you quietly hold, and the strength you show, even when you’re hurting doesn’t go unnoticed.

Those moments when you’ve kept going, offered support, or simply got through the day… we appreciate you.

You are a father.

Not because of what others can see, but because of everything you carry inside, the hopes, the dreams, and the love that began the moment you knew they existed.

Today, we honour your grief.

We honour your fatherhood.

We honour your strength.

And we honour your baby.

This Father’s Day, we’re thinking of you and as always, we’re standing beside you.

With Love,

Miscarriage Mumma

I received a lovely message from this gent the other day telling me about his fundraiser and to say I’m grateful is an understatement!

We have a huge demand for care packs at the minute with very little funds, so this has been music to my ears.

Thank you David ❤️
