Story
Over 2022 we have lost four babies through three miscarriages. Although absolutely heartbreaking, we are on a mission to turn our trauma into a positive. We owe it to the pregnancies we have lost to put meaning behind their little lives. Petals have been a lifeline for us this year, and have shown us a glimmer of hope when we have been deep in the trenches of grief. There is still so little support out there for pregnancy loss, the statistics of those parents experiencing pregnancy loss then going on to develop PTSD are staggering, and funding continues to be cut from the little support that there is for families. Petals provide free counselling to those who experience pregnancy loss, stillbirth, poor pregnancy prognosis, antenatal anxiety following a previous loss and neonatal loss. Their support is vital for so many. We unfortunately can‘t have our babies in our arms, but we can however live the new us by serving them. They have given us a purpose and drive to help others who experience similar to us, and in their legacy will we be doing this with all the strength we have. 🤍🤍🤍🤍
