Parents of lost babies and potential of all kinds: come here to share the technicolour, the vividness, the despair, the heart-broken-open, the compassion we learn for others, having been through this mess — and see it reflected back at you, acknowledged and understood.

Thanks to photographer Xin Li and to artist Stephanie Sicore for their respective illustrations and photos.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has listened to me and given me advice.
Baby Lucas James came into the world this morning. We are over the moon, I'm sure his big sister Olivia is looking down on us from heaven. Thank you again!
