Thursday will be my first little baby’s 7 year “birthday”. We lost him at almost 16 weeks.

life has moved on and is full of wonderful things, when for a time it was miserable. I now beautiful DCs which I am so grateful for - but this week I feel so awful.

there’s a lot of thinking “this time seven years ago we were…”

Today I had to be around someone with a newborn and it was really hard which feels ridiculous but it’s true.

Tips for getting through the next few days please!

I haven't got any advice, but didn't want to read and run. I think it must be natural to go through what you're going through approaching an anniversary if you've lost someone in your life, especially a little one.

My Uncle and Auntie obviously think a lot about their daughter who they lost at an early age, but as time has moved on they appreciate and love more and more their two sons who they wouldn't have had at time if their daughter had survived. Sorry, probably not saying quite the right thing, but hope you get where I'm coming from.
