🐇We visited the Museum of Play with family this past weekend. 🗓️
🐇We have visited this museum since my oldest was in pre-k and we had 1 toddler. 🍼
🐇Fast forward, we’ve had 2 more girls since our first visit here and each time we go, I remember all of our previous fun days here 🥰
🐇 Wishing deep down Darcie could be enjoying it too. 🫂
🐇 I know her sisters have enjoyed this museum and I find comfort when I look around and see bunnies 🐰 or nursery rhymes, stories, etc.
🐇Sending love to fellow loss parents still navigating life after loss 🩷💙

In the U.K., dads are creating space to talk about something many men struggle to express.

Forget-Me-Knot FC brings fathers together through a shared love of soccer and a shared experience of loss. Founded in September 2025 by Sean Coleman after losing his baby, the group was built to support other dads navigating grief.

"Losing a child can be incredibly isolating, and many men find it difficult to talk openly about their grief. The idea behind the club was simple: to create a safe space where men could come together, talk honestly, and play football," says member Aaron Way, who lost his daughter Willow last August.

What started with six dads has grown to nearly 40, meeting every other Monday in Staffordshire. Each session begins with a check-in they call "pits and peaks," followed by time on the field.

"At Forget-Me-Knot FC, everyone understands that loss. That shared experience creates a strong sense of trust and openness. Football also plays a big role, giving people a healthy way to release stress, reconnect with others, and find moments of normality again while still honouring the memories of their children," Aaron shared.

Their message is simple and powerful: you are not alone, even when it feels like you are.

🐇The part of parenting after loss that no one talks about.
🐇Our oldest had her final senior year high school performance 🎭 this past weekend.
🐇Lots of happy tears 🥹
🐇Feeling more emotional than normal I laid it out for myself as to why I felt so upset.
🐇Darcie is missing it.
🐇She doesn’t get to have these moments and misses out on life’s milestones with her family.
🐇I couldn’t be happier for my oldest and her accomplishments coming up this year.
🐇But as a loss parent, I guess this is part of grief that you don’t know hits you until it does 🩷💙
🐇So if you’re feeling all the emotions if you have other children, I hear you and I see you ❤️

🐇It’s officially spring.
🐇Flowers blooming, Mother’s/Father’s Day coming, nicer weather.
🐇My mind has been struggling lately and while I’m much more of a cold weather girl and prefer a walk in the snow and cold to the sun any day, spring like weather has helped me mentally.
🐇I’ve been getting out and walking with J more and the dogs.
🐇It has helped a lot when days feel heavy, not just with my own grief but the weight of everything happening in the world.
🐇If you are struggling, please get outside and take in fresh air, talk to a friend or family member.
🐇We can all use a little positive energy right about now. 🩷💙
