In May 2019, our son Joshan passed away in his father’s arms, shortly after he was born. He was removed from the ventilator, after we were told by doctors that he would not make a recovery, following a delayed emergency c-section.

In September 2020, I was pregnant with our daughter Lila when my waters broke prematurely. A few days later, Lila died during labour. Despite almost losing our older daughter Robyn the same way a few years earlier, I was totally unprepared for the overwhelming grief and anger I felt at Lila’s loss. 

In September 2022, we lost our little girl at 18 weeks having gone into spontaneous labour, turning our world upside down. Trying to navigate this trauma, grief and loss was the hardest thing either of us have ever had to do.

On Sunday 12th January 1992, after a quick drug free labour, our first son was born.
