Parent’s Stories
‘People sharing their stories is the biggest comfort’
‘I feel because she doesn’t have a death certificate she never existed’
‘That awful feeling that instead of something alive and kicking, inside you is a lifeless creature’
‘I know he’s not here but he’s still my son’
‘I looked at every little part of her between her toes and everything’
‘Just because you’ve lost a baby you are still a mother’
‘I blamed myself then’
‘There are people that have gone through it’
‘I think that experience has made me a better person’
‘I came in with my baby and I’m going out with nothing’
