United in grief, strong in love

I lost two little babies, miscarriages early in pregnancy. One was the Batsman's twin and I look at my big four year old boy and I wonder, still, what his twin would have been like. Boy or girl? Fair or dark? Reserved like the Batsman or boisterous like the Bowler? On the road to giving myself some peace after the losses of the little ones we never came to know, I have met some of the most extraordinary women one is ever likely to find.

Grief stricken.

Fearful.

Brave.

Sad.

Hopeful.

Courageous.

Generous.

Strong.

Kind.

Awe inspiring.

You all know who you are don't you? Sal, Carly, Sophie, New Year Mum, Angie, Catherine and so many many more. Too many women with so much sadness.

I am proud to know you. You inspire me to be a better person.

On International Babylost Mother's Day I acknowledge you. I will always stand beside you, online and in person, in your grief, your hope, your sadness, your joy.

Extraordinary women who wish they had never been brought together by loss but remain always, united in grief and strong in love.
