Siblings – June 2020

It has been lovely to see that beautiful bond that Sophie and Thomas have getting stronger each day as they spend so much time together. If we’d just had normal life over the last three months, they wouldn’t have had this kind of time together. It’s been so nice to see them enjoying being together;… Read More

Me and Mine – May 2020

30/05/202029/05/2020
Sophie, me and hubby (holding Thomas) sitting on garden chairs in the "party tent" with Jessica's photo draped over Sophie's chair

We’ve spent every day together as a family for over ten weeks now. It’s by far the longest time the children have ever had with Daddy being around, and I’m pretty certain is the longest period of time hubby and I have ever spent together too. We’ve not had time together like this since our… Read More

Siblings – May 2020

Sophie and Thomas standing by their playhouse, with Jessica's photo blanket hanging down from the roof and bubbles coming from the bubble machine on top of it

This is the last siblings post where Sophie is still younger than Jessica and my three children are in age order. By this time next month, Sophie will be older than Jessica ever was. And while of course, I want Sophie to grow and thrive and keep getting older, it breaks my heart too that… Read More

Me and Mine – April 2020

30/04/202030/04/2020
Sophie, me (holding a cushion with Jessica's photo on) and Daddy holding Thomas in our event shelter in the garden

April used to be one of my favourite months of the year, with the days becoming warmer and spring feeling very much in the air. These days, April is a tough month for us as a family with the anniversary of Jessica’s death on 14th April. Two years without our beautiful big girl. Sometimes we… Read More

Siblings – April 2020

Two photos of Sophie holding a photo of Jessica and sitting on top of the Little Tikes car with Thomas sitting inside it

Last month’s siblings photos taken at the park feel like they were taken a very long time ago now! We’re now into our fourth week of staying home due to the coronavirus pandemic and afternoons at the park feel like a distant memory. One positive thing about it all though has been the extra family… Read More

Me and Mine – March 2020

Hubby, me, Sophie (holding a picture of Jessica) and my mum with Thomas on her lap

The world has changed quite dramatically over this past month, hasn’t it? When I think back to the start of March and how we were going out and about quite normally, visiting family, having days out, rehearsing for a concert, it all seems like another world entirely. Four weeks on and our little world seems… Read More

Siblings – March 2020

Sophie and Thomas lying together in the spider swing at the park holding a photo of Jessica

Watching Sophie and Thomas together these days brings back so many memories of days out with the girls. As Thomas gets more able to join in with things that his sister does; as they start to play more and more together, I’m reminded of the beautiful bond that the girls shared and all those moments… 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.
