Returning To Normal

I always laugh when I say the word "normal" now. Like many other words since Benjamin died, it feels like it has taken on a completely different meaning. It is getting up every day, going to work, talking to people (usually with a fake smile on my face), feeling sad, often shedding a tear and [...]

#benjaminssunset ❤️ Had a great sunset tonight. Hubby decided to go right up to the waters edge to get his flower in and got completely soaked by a wave. Would have been a great video but I was too busy laughing 🤣 I’m sure Benjamin had a laugh at his Daddy’s expense too, wherever he ☺️#laughatdaddy #bellylaughs #benjaminsdaddy
It's been a while since this little fella has featured on these squares ❤️ So this is the main man around here, the light of my life, my little Benjamin ❤️ I just had no idea what was coming my way when we got pregnant. I had no idea how much love this little guy would bring into our lives. It was like he awakened something inside me, a missing piece maybe. Who knew we could create something so perfect ❤️ Forever in my thoughts and always in my heart #mylittleboy #alwaysloved #foreverinmyheart #mummysboy #stillbirth #loveneverdies
Another stunning sunset from Benjamin this week ❤️ It’s been a bit of a tough week this week but somehow our Sunday sunset always seems to drag my heart back up and out of the shadows. This grief thing doesn’t get any easier, just different xxx #benjaminssunset #triggbeach #sunset #stillbirth #griefjourney #love

Benjamin’s sunset tonight ❤️ A beautiful end to a lovely weekend down south ❤️ #benjaminssunset #love #weekendaway #besttimeoftheweek
I have a son...such a simple statement, yet for those of us who do not live with our children in our arms it is much more complicated. My latest article for @stillstandingmag explores the topic of speaking up about our babies, as was so well highlighted in the recent @tommys_thebabycharity campaign #togetherforchange ❤️❤️ The link is in my bio if you have time for a read xxx “Death does not erase a life, nor does it erase our love.” #alwayslovedneverforgotten #ihaveason #speakup #tellyourstory #babyloss #stillbirth #benjaminslight #stillstandingmagazine
