Adoption Leave
Today is my first official day of Adoption Leave. It’s a day I’ve been waiting for, a long, long time. Time off work to be a mum, to get...
"Behind my smile....
I carried my broken heart wherever I went. Every miscarriage seemed to just add to the weight of my previous loss and kept the wound open. I didn't know how to heal"
Finding others who understood has been a huge support in my healing journey and something I want to pay forwards
I want to change the conversations we have about pregnancy loss, infertility and childlessness. So much around these subjects is still taboo, the subjects still avoided or skirted over.
I want to raise awareness of the disenfranchised griefs linked to not travelling the expected path. Finding yourself single, re-evaluating what you want from life, navigating childlessness, redefining motherhood and becoming an older mum.
Over the years, my childlessness and miscarriages meant I felt entirely alone, separated from the world by an invisible barrier of pain and shame. I blamed myself for my miscarriages and felt I'd failed at life. My childlessness weighed heavily on me, with each passing year I felt I was watching life passing me by.
​
I am now adopting with my partner and navigating my way through this process.
