Love it when my work and study combine. It's very different writing for academic purposes than writing blog entries. But I love them both! ❤❤ . . #stillbirthsuppprt #stillbirth #childloss #writing #writersofinstagram #parenting #maternity #death #family #love #peersupport #miscarriage #pregnancy #pregnancyloss #blog

Each year is filled with its ups and downs, but I can always feel my heart is full with love you gave us. . Love Always, Mum and Dad . #stillbirthsuppprt #stillbirthawareness #stillbirth #childloss #loss #love

The completed final report from the Australian Governments Senate Inquiry into Stillbirth was tabled this afternoon, with many recommendations put forward that will hopefully reduce the rate of stillbirth in Australia. Copy and paste link below for full report and recommendations from the Committee. https://bit.ly/2KRRT5z Thank you to Still Aware for allowing me to add my voice to papers tabled to the Senate Inquiry. . . #stillbirth #senateinquiry #pregnancy #pregnancyloss #stillbirthsupport #allbabiesmatter #voiceforthevoiceless

Before the storm: A story about us, just days before our Stillbirth. New Blog over on the Website. ⬆️⬆️⬆️link in bio ⬆️⬆️⬆️. I was feeling all of my 31 and a half weeks of pregnancy with Claudia that morning as I, the lone parental figure, made the usual breakfast bargains and negotiations with my two daughters just to get a piece of toast eaten. School lunches, recesses, snacks and drinks all lay waiting on the counter and stayed defiantly unpacked until the 30th reminder. Lugging my swollen body and glorious fluidly cankles around the house, I rummage around looking for some mythical piece of clothing that makes me feel ethereal, blessed and carefree. Finding nothing to fit the criteria I settle for a dress that doesn't smell and a pair of undies that although freshly clean, had given up long ago. .

Book deadlines complete and time for a coffee!! 🙌☕ . The two hardest thing about writing from a personal experience have been, the editing process and to not put my 'now' voice into my 'then' world. To constently have to re-read to edit properly means having to re-enter my time in hospital, re-enter those feelings and make sure I have written them in a way that convey in words what essentially is a period of time governed by pure emotional and survival. Secondly, this event happen when I had only superficial knowledge of the world of child loss; a comfortable place where I sincerely hope most mothers stay. It had to be a conscious effort to not insert my now voice in. The knowledge I've gain in the intervening time has been considerable, and geez I could tell her a thing or two! 😔❤ . . . #deadlines #writing #books #stillbirth #stillbirthsupport #editing #coffee #perth #pregnancy #pregnancyloss #childloss #love #knjiga #pisanje #mrtvorođenče #mortinaissance #perthwriters #freo #fremantle

"How letting go of fear helped me connect to my stillbirth experience" Click over to my website the Still Life Project (link in bio) for full article . . "I suppose it was really about being passive or active in a situation that you realise as you are going through it, is traumatic. More than the unfathomable experience of holding my dead baby, what I was most fearful of was being passive in the experience, to have this wash past too fast for me to see and breathe in my own child. So by default I became active: became present, became involved, became aware, became an active partisipant of the experience. We seem to like to categorise our life experiences neatly in a box marked positive or negative, my stillbirth experience doesn’t fit into either, it’s an experience that is marked by both love and sorrow, and doesn’t fit into any box. An experience that requires strength and vulnerability in the same breath. An experience where things, both positively and negatively, are not the same afterwards." #stillbirth #childloss #grief #support #miscarriage #loss #parenting #stillbirthsupport #stillbirthawareness #blogs #stillbirthblog

As Sands (Stillbirth and Newborn Death Support) moves to finalising the nationwide unification, its time to say a final thank you and goodbye as President here in WA. Guiding WA towards unification process has been lengthy and I wish all a continued success as one unified organisation supporting bereaved parents in this unique peer to peer model. #stillbirth #stillbirthsupport #pregnancyloss #grief #griefsupport #bereavement #bereavedparents #parenting #infantloss #miscarriage #traumahealing #loss

And that's a wrap! Thousands of brochures distributed into the hands of (expectant) parents full of important information, hopefully leading to safe and empowered pregnancy thanks to Still Aware. #PBC #stillbirthsuppprt #stillbirthawareness #stillbirth #information #pregnancy #pregnancyloss #perth #expo
