Connecting with other Mums

Two months ago, whilst I was still pregnant, I had no idea that just a short while later I would be connecting with mothers from all over the world who have one thing in common - the loss of a baby.  Daisy's death was so sudden; so unexpected.  The shock ripped our lives apart.

After Daisy died I felt very isolated; I felt like no-one could possibly understand the stabbing pain in my heart, the broken feeling inside me, the raw, aching grief at losing a child.

But I found a support network online and started to connect with other mothers - through my blog, their blogs, and Twitter.  The support from other bereaved mums has given me a lot of strength.  Their own strength, sharing their stories, their feelings, their hopes for the future, has been a great source of comfort to me in my dark days.

One of the lovely mums I have connected with is Lisa Sissons.  Lisa's beloved son Finley died in March 2012, aged just three days old.  Lisa writes so honestly on her blog, Dear Finley, about her son, her experiences, her sorrow and her heartbreak.  Last week Finley would have turned 5 months old and to mark this, Lisa has arranged a Blog Hop to allow bereaved mothers the chance to connect with other mums.

Thank you Lisa for arranging the blog hop and for helping us to build connections.

Best Wishes
