Speaking at during Baby Loss Awareness Week was a huge honour.

The first person a parent may speak to after the loss of a baby is a health professional. The words you use and the actions you take can play a vital role.

Educating health professionals to use the correct language plus having the knowledge and sensitivity can have a huge impact on a bereaved parent’s journey.

If you are a health professional or organisation that would like support for you or your staff, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Today marks the start of baby loss awareness week. As much as we know that every day we should be able to talk about baby loss if we need to, having a week dedicated to raising awareness helps to break the stigma attached to losing a baby. It also encourages those who might be struggling to reach out and ask for help.

The Wave of Light Ceremony will take place on Wednesday 15th October to remember all babies gone far too soon.

Thank you to , and so many other charities for getting involved. 💜

Did you know that around 20% of Black mothers do not seeks professional help for low mood or depression during their pregnancy or up to a year after giving birth?

This isn’t because the struggle is any less real but because of potential barriers that we should be talking more about:

- The stigma regarding mental health especially maternal mental health
- The fear of being misunderstood
- Inequalities within our healthcare system
- Lack of culturally sensitive care

Mental health support is for everyone and it’s ok to ask for help.

Thank you for championing this.

I’m here if you need me.

How do you feel about this statement?

I read this and had to disagree because it seems like it’s a negative.

If grief is love, it can’t be a negative. The love we have for our babies will be eternal.

There are many things we can do to channel the grief that might impact our mental health so that it has ‘somewhere to go.’ I work with many mothers to help them do this.

If you feel like grief is taking over. Please get in touch to see if I can help.
