Mandi – I am so deeply sorry for your loss. What incredible heartbreak for you. You have been SO incredibly brave to “lean in” to the pain and allow grief to do it’s healing work on you. Your loss will always be a part of you but by allowing yourself to fully grieve as you have you will be able to move forward in a way that honours both you and the baby you lost. Sending you much love, peace and strength. x

When I talk to people that have also lost their child, I talk about how the time just after the loss whilst it hurts the most is actually the time when the presence of their child was closest to them. The time when their smell is still on clothes, when you are closest to the last time you touch them, held them spoke to them. And therefore this time of deep, deep pain needs to be relished. Don’t shy away from it or try to push the feelings away. Feel everything. You won’t get this time again. Don’t be too hurried to get through this most painful time. Certainly I feel I have heeled well and read a lot of things in this article that were things I experienced and experience (as you never get ‘over’ it). Allowing yourself to grieve and feel is really important to how you will come out the other end.

I am supporting a dear friend through loss and grief at the moment and, as always, it reminds me of my own losses. Namaste. Your article has put into words for me some of the thoughts and feelings moving through me and has given me a couple of new strategies to add to my toolbox, both to use myself and to share with my beloved others. Blessings and thank you xx 🙂
