Benjamin’s Story

Before Benjamin I was never one of those people who had always wanted kids.  I met my husband, Merv, when I was 23.  We were more concerned with our careers, our hobbies and travelling than starting a family.  In fact during this time I tried my very best not to get pregnant.  Kids were always [...]

I’ve been quiet on here for a long time now. I’ve been struggling. 5 years of never ending stress and anxiety has taken its toll. Having Lucy is amazing but it has added a layer to my grief that is so overwhelming it has taken me completely by surprise. So tonight we grabbed some roses and headed to the beach for the boys sunset. It was beautiful and calming and just perfect really. Our family of 4 together as we should be ❤️ #benjaminssunset #love #lifeafterloss #pregnancyafterloss #stillbirth #pregnancyloss #itscomplicated #familyof4 #anxiety #stress #ineedabreak

A huge thank you to @harpermartin_au for this beautiful book by @_the_golden_thread ❤️ It hits very close to home...a little sister without her big brother 😢 I’m looking forward to the day when I can read it to Lucy and start explaining all about her big brother Benjamin who changed our lives forever and introduced us to life as parents ❤️❤️❤️❤️ #thegoldenthread #love #missingbigbrother #loveneverdies #stillbirth #pregnancyloss #lifeafterloss #parentingafterloss #harpermartinau
When my hubby asked me what I wanted to do for my birthday this year the answer was obvious...Benjamin Sunset of course ❤️ I always feel so close to Benjamin down at the ocean sunset and last night was no different. So full of love, with my darling husband and my two babies...one in my heart and one in my arms ❤️❤️❤️❤️ #lifeafterloss #familyof4 #benjaminssunset #love #birthday #oneinmyheartoneinmyarms #stillbirth #pregnancyloss
Beautiful roses from my perfect little Benjamin for my birthday ❤️ Looking forward to popping 3 of these back in the ocean later for sunset ❤️ #birthdaywithoutmyboy #love #benjaminslight #alwaysloved #neverforgotten #stillbirth #pregnancyloss
Our little rainbow 🌈 is 5 months old today ❤️ She has brought me back a joy that I never thought was possible. She lights up every day, our special little girl 🥰 #rainbowbaby #joy #love #5monthsold #speciallittlegirl #lightsupourlives
