Infant loss will effect everyone differently, it's defiantly changed me and I do believe it changes everyone even in small ways.
Since losing my daughter my life has changed completely, I hit rock bottom and had to work my way back up again. I understand a lot more than I used to do about anxiety, depression and grief, I see how often infant loss does have an impact on people and now know it's not a uncommon as I once thought. I see how short life is and how important memories and photos are.
I battled my depression and anxiety and although I do still have the odd anxious day I'm proud of who I have become. I used to be that person who would take anything that was thrown at me and say nothing because I didn't want to upset others, anything for an easy life, that's not me anymore, I don't fly off the handle at little things but if I think something should be said I say it now and I feel better for being like this, I have faught the hardest fight any mother can face and any war after that will be a drop in the ocean, you can't spend your whole life trying to make others happy you have to be happy too otherwise what is the point.
If you love someone tell them, they may not be here tomorrow so don't wait, if you don't like someone stay away from them, why fill your life with ill feeling, if you can help someone then do.
Most importantly life your life for you and the ones you love, those that matter don't mind and those that mind don't matter. Xxxx
Keeping pushing through everyone it's worth it
