Reflections of a heart mummy: Living in limbo

17/08/201717/08/2017
Jessica sitting and looking at a pond

We’re in limbo at the moment. Waiting for a date for the next heart surgery. Unable to look ahead once again.   Waiting for a date is hard. But as hard as this is, the harder part is yet to come. Waiting for a date is far, far easier than that awful wait while my… Read More

21/07/201720/07/2017
A doodle of the word "overwhelmed" with a stressed out cartoon version of me

The little things have overwhelmed me this week. The combination of worrying about the next step on our heart family journey and tiredness from the end of term has not been a good one. One minute I’m feeling fairly strong about it all; the next I feel like I’m not coping well at all. It… Read More

Reflections of a heart mummy: it’s all in the little moments

20/07/201719/07/2017
A very smiley Jessica on the rocking horse at the park

It’s in the little moments that the reality of being a heart mum hits me most. The little moments that catch me off-guard and bring tears to my eyes. Seeing my daughter enjoying a ballet class. Watching her play in the playground with her friends. The way she reaches out to hold her little sister’s… Read More

From the mouths of babes #128 – Don’t forget the magic wipes

17/07/201716/07/2017
Jessica as a toddler with a speech bubble saying "From the mouths of babes" and the text "A linky for sharing the things kids say"

From the mouths of babes is a weekly linky which invites you to share a post, old or new, about something your children have said. Those adorable mispronounced words, the glimpses into their imaginations, the blunt observations – whatever it is, I’d love to hear about it!   Thank you to everyone who linked up… Read More

We’re a week away from the summer holidays and I’m looking forward to having both my girls home with me. This summer is going to be very much about making memories with these two little girls of mine. I am not sure how much of the summer holidays we will be able to enjoy. We… 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.
