Our Journey Of Pregnancy, Loss, Grief And Beyond

I would like to take you on a journey, our journey, my husband, my eldest daughter, my middle daughter and my angel daughter.

I was looking through the media platform I use for images and quotes, I wanted to do a piece on how baby loss affects the whole family, not just mum and dad but siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins – the whole family! I was shocked to find that when I was looking for things for siblings and grandparents I really struggled to find anything – there was plenty for the loss of a child who had made it through pregnancy and lived for some years but nothing for for the loss of a baby during pregnancy, birth or soon after birth.

So I thought I’d take you on my own journey to show how pregnancy loss affected our household, not just myself and my husband but the whole household and immediate family. People say how we lost Nayely early, like that makes it easier. I want to show people that it may have only been 16 and a half weeks of pregnancy but a lot happens in that short time, and even if I was only 4 months in – the journey with our daughter was much longer, she may be gone but her journey continues…………

Every day I will take you through Nayely’s journey one step at a time, one memory to the next until we get the present day, I want the world to see how this journey has impacted on us all, I’ll start tomorrow from the weeks leading up to our positive test result. I’ll share images where possible.

This is our journey of pregnancy, loss, grief and beyond.
