“I would’ve given my last breath to see you take your first”

Four years ago, I finally got my baby, our little miracle. But with him here, a huge part of me feels that heavy guilt whenever I look back at the path it took to get here.

It feels almost strange to participate in the Wave of Light, like I shouldn't look backward when I finally have what I fought so hard for.

Ten losses came before River. Ten quiet heartbeats that shaped me.

The truth is, having him didn’t erase the thoughts of the babies I lost, it just changed how I carry them.

Tonight, I’m lighting this candle for the ten babies who didn't get to stay, while holding my boy a little tighter.

You can love the family you have here and still deeply grieve the ones you had to say goodbye to.

To my lost little ones: you are still, and always will be a huge part of our story, and you are always remembered.💙💕

Apologies for taking so long to post this, but I was horrendously ill last week and we were wrapping a few things up before we go on holiday….

But HUGE thank you to everyone who came to the Shanks’s Bowling Club Charity day and gave their time/efforts and money to us.

A special thank you to Shanks’s themselves, for hosting us for the day, and extra special thank you to Jade Mcdade and Iain Mcdade who nominated us this year.

As a small organisation we are often overlooked for donations and fundraising, and unfortunately raising money for baby loss isn’t always at the forefront of people’s minds when it comes to charities/non profits.

But we can’t explain enough the difference your donations make. Being able to make a memory box, a keepsake, or an item of jewellery for someone who’s lost a child is genuinely something that’s priceless to the people who we make them for.

Having an item that you can keep in your purse, keep around your neck, or look at whenever you want to is something can bring comfort on the hardest of days. It gives families something tangible to hold onto, a little reminder of their baby, their love, and the memories they will carry with them forever.

For someone experiencing baby loss, these items may seem small, but they can mean the absolute world. They can provide comfort when words aren’t enough, and help a family feel that their baby is remembered, loved and never forgotten.

Your donations allow us to continue creating these precious keepsakes and offering them to families when they need them most. Every donation, no matter how big or small, helps us make something that can be treasured for a lifetime.

Thank you from all of us at NellyBoxes CIC

💙💗One of our baby loss boxes went out last week to a family who needed a little extra gentleness.

Each box is created with so much care, and filled with meaningful items to honour a precious little life and to support both mum and dad as they navigate their grief.

It’s a privilege to be able to offer even a small moment of comfort, and we’re always holding every family walking this path in our thoughts.

I can only apologise for not being as active on here recently - I feel we’ve added so many other aspects of our non profit, that I sometimes forget to engage with the one that started it all 💜

Please do be assured that although I may not always post here, I am only a message away, so if anyone needs support, wants to order a keepsake, or just wants to say hi - my inbox is always open 🥰

But I will try be better here…. ☺️
