Grief and life after Jessica: the fear of moving forward

27/08/201824/08/2018
Jessica sitting on top of a tree stump

Grief is a funny thing. There are times when I feel like I am drowning in the stormy sea of grief and times when the waves calm and I find myself just floating along. I have been told that with the passing of time, the frequency of the storms will reduce. That as I move… Read More

A double rainbow over houses - "#365daysofgratitude"

For the last two years, I have taken part in a daily gratitude challenge – sharing one photo a day on Instagram of something I am grateful for. It’s taught me to look for the little things and has made me a more positive person. It has not always been easy to find something to… Read More

Jessica standing in front of a tree looking out over a big branch - "Country Kids"

Welcome to Country Kids. Country Kids was one of the first linkies I joined in when I started my blog four years ago.

A picture of the word "solo" with a biplane

Hubby’s away working on an event this week so I’ve been flying solo for the first time since Thomas arrived. It’s been a tough week emotionally so overall things have been quite challenging.

Thomas’s first trip to Chessington World of Adventures

23/08/201823/08/2018
Me, hubby, Thomas and Sophie on the Gruffalo River Ride Adventure

It’s been a little while since our last trip to Chessington. I had hoped to take Sophie for a day out before Thomas arrived but the combination of a heatwave and being heavily pregnant made the prospect of a theme park day out less appealing.

Baby Thomas lying on a sheepskin rug

Those newborn days are such precious ones. There is just something about a teeny tiny, brand-new baby. I love the feel of a new baby snuggled up to me; the way they’re still all curled up. I love that newborn baby smell; the snuffles and the little sounds they make and even that newborn baby… Read More

I'm Louise, mummy of three - Jessica, forever six, who was born with half a heart and lives on in mine; and heart-healthy Sophie (born 2013) and Thomas (born 2018). I blog about living with grief after child loss, crafts, days out and the little moments of family life.
