In the very early days after we lost our angel, a friend of ours put us in contact with a few other people in our area who had gone through similar experiences. To find people who had been through the loss of a child really helped and we have become good friends since.
One of these people was Louise, who passed on a couple of books they she had read:
She also printed out a journal that she had made throughout the first year after she lost her beautiful angel baby Oliver. To have had an account from someone we could relate to was really helpful to try and understand some of the things we were feeling.
Louise has kindly agreed to publish extracts from the journal with the hope that it can help others. I have published first part of the journal Oliver’s Birth Story along with this post. All journal entries will be available here. I hope you find it as useful and touching as we have.
