Something that no parent-to-be wants to hear…”We can’t find a heartbeat”.
Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.
- A.A.Milne
..and they say the smallest coffins are the heaviest!
A loss is a loss..
We (well most of us) work very hard to live a life of
“no judgement”.
They say: “in order to walk in someone else’s shoes you first must take off your own”.
