Siblings – July 2022

July – a month of transitions. With the end of the school year and Thomas’s birthday approaching, July brings with it a reminder of how quickly my children are growing up, and with it a stronger ache for the one who is no longer growing up with her siblings. The reminder of time moving on,… Read More

Me and Mine – June 2022

05/07/2022

June was another busy month – hence being late yet again with sharing my ‘Me and Mine’ photo and the fact that it’s another quickly snapped shot in the garden! It’s been one of those months with lots of activities and the feeling of juggling a few too many balls (although they’re mostly staying in… Read More

Siblings – June 2022

Sophie and Thomas snuggled up together under a blanket with photos of Jessica on

I love watching Sophie and Thomas playing together. Thomas has nicknames for everyone at the moment – he’s ‘Woof’, Sophie is ‘Meow’, Jessica is ‘Squeak’, Daddy is ‘Moo’ and I am ‘Ribbit’. It’s adorable watching him snuggle up to Sophie and saying, “I love you, Meow” and hearing her respond, “I love you too, Woof”.… Read More

Me and Mine – May 2022

Me, my husband, Thomas and Sophie (holding a photo of Jessica) in the garden next to the roses

I’m quite late sharing my ‘Me and Mine’ post – the end of May ran away with me with performing in a show and a very busy half-term. It was so good to be back on stage again though and I’ve really enjoyed having some time for myself doing something I love. I’ve been very… Read More

Siblings – May 2022

It dawned on me the other day that Thomas is now at the age that Sophie was during that last summer with Jessica. When I think of my girls together, the memories of that last summer are usually the first that spring to mind – the way they’d play together and have fun outside together.… Read More

Me and Mine – April 2022

02/05/2022

April has been quite a full-on month, emotionally and activity-wise. The build up to the anniversary of Jessica’s death on 14th April is always a hard time, marking yet another year without our beautiful big girl, another year further away from our life with her. Four years without our beautiful Jessica. Sometimes it feels impossible… Read More

Siblings – April 2022

Sophie and Thomas with the wooden sculpture of Jessica at Jessica's forever bed

The Easter holidays are almost over, most of the chocolate has been eaten and term-time beckons once more. It’s interesting how different Sophie and Thomas are when it comes to Easter chocolate. Thomas has eaten almost all of his now (along with some extra Easter eggs belonging to others that were left in reach). He’s… 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.
