On the 7th June 2023 our lives changed forever...

We welcome our daughter into the world,

Whilst accepting that our son was not meant to be in our lives.

We began to plan for her life and we began to cope with his loss.

We were simultaneously happier than ever,

and inconsolably sad.

We saw the future in her eyes,

and we mourned for what should have been for him.

That day we felt that the fates had aligned in our favour,

That day life had never been so cruel.

On the 7th of June we rejoiced,

On the 7th of June we burned with rage.

Words cannot express how it felt to say hello for the first time and goodbye for the last time.

That day was the best, That day was the worst.

…7th June 2023.

Minnie Mia-Mae was born

Kit Cooper sadly passed away.

Above is Mine & Bills prose, from the heart. We will never forget the day that we were handed a truly hateful cocktail of impossibly conflicting emotions to digest.

The Maternity Bereavement team are specialist midwives who support families who suffer baby loss. The team are there to provide practical support, create special memories for families and ensure they have the support they need going forward.

The support and kindness they showed us will stay with us forever.

We can't thank the team enough!

We would like to raise money for the Maternity Bereavement team so they can carry on helping families like us at such a difficult time
