Welcome to 

This website has been created so that I can share my experience of the journey that I am currently on, dealing with grief.

After my daughter passed away in May 2019 at just four months old my life went into free fall. I was thrust into a world of panic, darkness and indecision that I will always be struggling to keep at bay.

The emotions that I feel now seem to be heightened. The love that I am able to reach after having known Ivy and the sadness in losing her have magnified. Since having Daisy and Elsie, all of these emotions continue to swirl with the joys of every smile appreciated, and the sadness of Ivy’s abscence never far from my thoughts.

I struggled to understand this shift for a long time but poetry gave me an outlet to try to make sense of my grief, sadness, love, hope, joy and anger.

I hope that this will help others understand theirs.
