Siblings – July 2019

Thomas and Sophie holding a picture of Jessica in a spinning saucer

I can’t quite believe that we’re now almost a year into this new chapter of the Siblings project. A chapter that is full of ‘if only’s and ‘what if’s. Reflecting on the sibling bond between my two youngest children while forever being conscious of the three sibling bonds that I should have also been watching… Read More

Siblings – June 2019

Sophie and Thomas in matching shorts and T-shirts sitting next to the sculpture of Jessica at her forever bed

I used to love putting my girls in matching dresses. They always seemed happy with it and I loved how it highlighted the fact that they were a pair – that they belonged together. It was one of the many things I really missed when Jessica died. Buying an outfit for just one child instead… Read More

Siblings – May 2019

It is lovely to see that how that sibling bond between Sophie and Thomas grows and develops. The way his little eyes light up when she talks to him; the way he smiles at her. Seeing how proud she is of him; how she cheers him on whenever he does something new for the first… Read More

Siblings – April 2019

Sophie and Thomas sitting in Grandma's garden, with Sophie holding the picture of Jessica

It’s been a year since Jessica died. A year in which Sophie’s position within our family changed dramatically – from little sister, to our only living child, and then to being the big sister. The middle child – yet never having the experience of being the middle child. No longer having her big sister there… Read More

Siblings – March 2019

Sophie and Thomas sitting on my bed in their pyjamas next to Jessica's photo blanket

I used to love watching my girls together at school drop-off and pick-up times. I loved the way that they would give each other a big cuddle and a kiss as they said goodbye to each other in the morning and their joy at being reunited at pick-up time. The way they would walk together… Read More

Siblings – February 2019

I love how Thomas interacts more and more with Sophie now. His little eyes light up when she arrives home from school in the afternoons and his biggest smiles and laughs are always reserved for her. Sophie’s first request on waking up each morning is nearly always to hold her baby brother and give him… Read More

Siblings – January 2019

Thomas and Sophie lying either side of Jessica's photo blanket

What a difference a year makes. When I wrote my siblings post this time last year, my girls were reunited again after Jessica’s Fontan procedure and we had just arrived home. I remember the joy of that moment when they were back together once more – the way Jessica waited by the ward door for… 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.
