Thanksgiving day 2020 wasn't the usual day of gratitude. But a heart wrenching time for Joy and her family. After being blessed with 3 children and having to undergo a lot of medical intervention with her 3rd child, she never thought it could any worse. But to then suffer a stillbirth at full term with her angel son GRANT. Joy explains her journey through her fear during her perfect pregnancy with Grant. How she is getting by one day at a time. And as her name, she still manages to spread joy and love with all of her experiences after losing Grant. Still very raw, but she found the courage to speak, share and honour her son Grant with us today. Listen to the end and find out the potential rainbow after so much darkness for Joy.  We will be in speaking again soon in the near future. Thank you so much.  

After two failed pregnancy tests and no obvious signs of pregnancy. Ksid managed to get all the way to full term and once admitted in hospital with her pains, she was made aware of her pregnancy.  Ksid gave birth to a handsome sized baby boy called Reese born sleeping. She went through all this and still managed to attain her degree in her last semester at University. We all wonder 'what if' and although the moments were few, Ksid will continue her life honouring her Spirit Angel Reese. Ksid plans to study further and research pregnancy and infant loss. We look forward to connecting again to share her findings in the near future. Thank you KSID and thank you Reece x

I have so much respect for Teresa after our talk. To be in a position to speak so openly about her experience after it just occurred in December 2020. Shows how strong this lady is.  The tears rolled down my face listening to the loss of her angel Collette. At 41 weeks, looking forward to a VBAC and a homebirth. To then suffer through a critical Uterine rupture and detached placenta. Teresa herself going in and out of consciousness - still holding on to the hope for her daughters survival, even after her loss. My heart goes our to her and her family. Thank you for sharing your story and honouring your angel Collette.

Shana shares her stories of her multiple stillbirths with us.  How she suffered with one test after another and still managed to find rays of hope.  Speaking about her angels brought back so much emotion and insight, even though they were over a decade a go and more.  Still to this day it feels so real and we speak their names, honour her angels and rejoice in her living children too.

Beaming with happiness after receiving the great news of expecting twins through IVF.  Having the most wonderful wedding, then the hopes of having not one but two little bundles of joy on their way, it couldn't get any better than that. Complications started to happen after they lost their little angel Rori half way only to be devastated of losing Daniel at almost full term. Becca bravely shared her story so early after her loss and is such a strong soul. Always having hope and never giving up.

Dreaming of their first child together, so close to having her in their arms making it all the way past 40 weeks. Only to be heartbroken with the devastating news of their dear Rosie gaining angel wings.

Bee found the strength to survive and keep the memory of her angel son Bilal alive. By finding help in time to heal and recover from attempting suicide, Bee is now looking at starting a non profit organisation help other struggling mums from the Black and ethnic community to find medical & financial help that she was denied. Moving from shelter to shelter during her pregnancy, struggling with high blood pressure, she was neglected by the health authorities which caused her losing her angel.
