Hello I’m Kat
I’m a wife, a mother of 2 children, Milly Florence my bright shining star who was stillborn on 21st October 2014, and our rainbow baby Isla Florence born 10th August 2017. After our daughter Milly was Stillborn we sadly went on and suffered 3 miscarriages, but never gave up hope of extending our family. I live in Stratford-upon-Avon with my husband Si and our cat Bee.

When Milly past away in 2014 our world was catapulted into despair. I had no strength to write anything down too scared to put pen to paper (so to speak) and actually see my feelings written down, when feeling them was heart wrenching enough. I am now in a place where I want to talk about my journey of 4 years. From the moment we were told that Milly’s heart had stopped beating, to finally doing what I had dreamed of for years, walking out of the hospital with a living baby in my arms. I want this blog to tell my tale of the last 4 years and to continue discussing how it is to be a mother to a child who is no longer here and also making sure they are still talked about to their little sister. How do you even do this? I am yet to figure it out!

Writing this blog is a way for me to connect to you my darling Milly Florence and share my experience of how I dealt with the heart ache of losing you. As well as the things I wish people had told me to do, whilst I am still working through my emotions one small step at a time.

I hope my story will help others who have been through a similar journey not feel so alone, and hold onto hope.

Lots of love
