Baby Loss Awareness Week 2026
A children’s book about miscarriage: Auntie Lanie’s Lost Rainbow
In 2019 I suffered my second miscarriage. Due to being over 12 weeks, I had already told my friends and family that we were expecting, including my young nephews; one of whom was only 3 at the time. When my loss happened, not only did I have to deal with the worst physical and emotional pain I have ever suffered, but I also had the very hard job of telling everyone that we were no longer pregnant. Understandably, this was hard for a 3-year-old to comprehend. Since then, I have written my own children’s story about miscarriage and wish to share it with anyone else who may have suffered a loss and has yet to break the devastating news to a sibling, niece/nephew or young family friend.
It is my dream to one day be able to publish my book and distribute it in hospitals, baby loss charities and ultrasound clinics. I hope my book can help you on your healing journey.
Feel free to share or add your own pictures to read to your little ones.
Sorry for your loss.
Lots of love from a sympathetic Mummy, my 2 rainbows and my angel babies.
