I've signed up to attend a Mothers Day High tea.. run by Bears of Hope.. a pregnancy and infant loss support organisation. I'm going with some other girl friends who have lost their precious little ones.
When I filled in the form to register there was a question: "Is this person a bereaved mother" and it had space to list names of children. I really wasn't sure what to write and agonised over it. I don't know that to everyone they count but to me ... yes I am.. and those 8 little lives count and matter and so after discussion with Guy and choosing a couple more names for Octobers little ones, I wrote down eight names:
Dan, Chris, Jess, Jules, Ashley, Kelly, Stevie and Kim xxxxxxxx
It's on the day before Mother's Day .. I feel a little strange and anxious about it ... If you've read other posts here you would know that Mother's Day is one of the hardest days for me, but I'm happy to be able to go to support my dear friends and looking forward to spending time with them and am glad to be able to honour those little lives not for this world.
