A Loss Mum's Journal...

This memoir is lovingly dedicated to fellow mums who have experienced the profound grief and heartbreak of infant loss. There is only one baby who fits so perfectly into the empty arms of this mother. And this mother feels terribly alone. There is a magical bridge for special babies like you. A bridge, far off into the clear, crystal night's sky. Into the warm purple and pink hues of a sunrise, and into the turquoise depths of the ocean. This bridge takes you to where my heart needs to believe you are. Somewhere safe. I cannot cross that bridge with you even though I am desperate to stay by your side. Every mother stands at the base of this bridge, gazing longingly at our angel babies' fading footprints. A gentle arm reaches over to hug and remind me that we loss mums, stand together.
