As many of you already know I sadly lost my Alfie-James on Monday 7th May 2018 when I woke to discover a nightmare that would be my new reality. My Son unfortunately had lost his life and become a beautiful angel just a couple of weeks before he would have been six months old.
As well as dealing with the immense pain and grief from my child passing away; I was having to plan his beautiful exit from this earth. I had to see my son, my heart and life, now just laid down, forever sleeping, which broke me.
Throughout my time as a grieving mother I have blamed myself and others, turned against the world and truth is... I’m just a 21-year-old whose lost her whole entire world before its even begun. I had so many plans to do with Alfie which I will now have to complete alone for Alfie, in his wonderful memory.
Everything is in memory and remembrance to him. A main goal is to allow all grieving parents to feel their child is comfortable which will lead to fabulous Moses baskets been provided (etc) but also that there is support for each family as I had very little support offered to me. Another aim is to provide comfort teddies for resting angels as well as provide general help and the support that’s needed after the loss of a baby or toddler. As well as all this one main aim is also for all nurses/Doctors to be updated with all symptoms/diagnoses, so they know how to best help and treat a baby, toddler or child.
