These wonderful mums have opened up on how they're hoping to use the heartache of losing their babies, to try and help others
A group of mums have opened up on how they're hoping to use the heartache of losing their babies, to try and help others who may experience that tragedy and to inform the healthcare response.
"At the time, I felt a bit like I was going mad, there were a few people around me who, you know, had had similar experiences, but not at the same sort of point in time as me," she said. "And for me, I just felt like, thank goodness that we've come, it was very emotional, like I cried from the moment I sort of stepped in the door.
There, parents can plant a tree in memory of their much loved baby, so that a more physical mark can stand in the world as a symbol of their life. "I was maybe, you know, six months in, and, and at times, it felt like I was sort of being rushed along, to not be in such utter despair as I was, and hearing that within this poem that, you know, it can be years and years, and you'll still find it really difficult was just such a relief for me," she said.
Danielle said their nerves soon disappeared when they realised they were in a room with people who understood their pain and were happy to offer support. It was at that initial meeting though that they met Jude English, a Bangor mum who lost her son Bertie in 2012. "We were invited to come and present it to the Trust then and we were made aware of the Forget Me Not group and I became treasurer for the group for 10 years and it's been great working with other parents and realising we are not alone.""Just because I wanted to talk doesn't mean my husband wants to talk," she said.
"And your experience is individual and special, you know, know people have gone through similar but your experience is your path." "I got a phone call for counselling and in October the Forget Me Not held their remembrance service and they had handed out roses and stuff and that was such a nice touch to me.
Kaitlin said the group also looks at how other people treat parents who have lost a child and how it can be approached best.
