‘I’m sorry there is no heartbeat’.

Six words that instantly caused our world to crash down around us and shattered our longed for dreams. After loving you for months, talking to you daily and making plans for you, you were gone and there was absolutely nothing we could do to save you. 

When you experience baby loss, it is like the world stands still. It is like a trapdoor opens, and you fall into a world of trauma, pain and grief... No one chooses this journey, yet sadly 1-in-4 pregnancies will end this way and around 258,000 babies will be lost in the UK this year.The Mariposa Trust is leading the way in providing services and support for anyone who is affected by the loss of a baby, at any stage of pregnancy, at birth or in infancy, whether recently or historically.

Nothing, absolutely nothing hurts like the pain of not being able to hold you in our arms. We will love you forever.

 We will hold you in our hearts until we get to hold you in heaven🤍
