NEW SURVEY

If you have experienced the loss of a baby, you have probably had the words ‘time heals all wounds’ or similar said to you…it and similar platitudes are often given by friends, family members and even strangers.

Whilst your ability to carry your grief may improve over time, you will carry your experience for your whole life, as it profoundly changes who you are.

We are wanting to explore how ‘time passing by, does not mean that a baby is forgotten.’

If you are in the UK, and experienced a baby loss 15-60 years ago, we would love you to complete this short survey which explores how the experience of baby loss is felt over time. This will help Mariposa International as we create support, campaigns and resources to better help the bereaved.

We so appreciate you taking the time to complete this survey, and please understand that all results are anonymous.

Thank you for helping us to better support the bereaved.

In loving memory of all the babies and children who died in the month of October.
Sending love and light to all those with aching arms and hurting hearts, we are here for you, especially during baby loss awareness month. There is such a lot on social media throughout October for awareness month, please take extra good care of your hearts as the month unfolds. Love, Val ###

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.

and for some of us, October isn’t just pink and blue ribbons.

it’s the month that puts a name to the grief we carry every single day.

it’s remembering the test.

the ultrasound.

the due date.

the name you picked out.

the future you pictured.

the baby the world may never have met… but you did.

pregnancy and infant loss doesn’t end when the appointment does.

it follows you into holidays.

family pictures.

birthdays.

quiet nights.

and all the moments where you wonder who they would’ve been.

so this October, remember this:

some parents are carrying children you cannot see.

some families are missing someone in every photo.

and some of the deepest love in the world belongs to babies who were here for far too little time.

they existed.

they mattered.

they are still loved.

I am delighted to be helping out at Babyfest this year, thanks to Eleanor for inviting Tigerlily Trust to man the raffle stand and donating the proceeds from the raffle to the charity.
Some of you may know that back in 2012 it was Eleanor who encouraged me and helped in the very beginning to get Tigerlily Trust started. So it will be quite emotional to be part of this event again. If you plan to come along on Saturday please pop by the raffle stand and say hello.
I look forward to seeing you. Val ###

Lancaster photography studio PhotoBaby is celebrating 18 years in business by bringing local families and baby businesses together for a free BabyFest event this Saturday, September 26.
