Description

Following the loss of my son during pregnancy, I started to write to him to keep his memory alive, both for myself and as a way of channelling all the grief that I was trying to keep locked inside. This is the story of the most traumatic event in my life. It tells the story of how I navigated the all-encompassing heartache and pain, eventually coming out the other side with the help of family and friends. It is an unbearable grief at whatever stage you lose a baby, one which you will never forget. This is my account of how it affected me and my family.

Twenty-one years later I share this book as a tribute to my son, Ian, who I sadly never got to keep. I hope that by sharing these letters and my thoughts that it may help others navigate their own grief and to bring comfort and hope, this is my wish. We all deal with grief differently and what works for one person doesn’t necessarily work for another, this should be borne in mind whilst reading. This book is based on my own experience and personal views.
