NOT THIS TIME

apologies for my absence and any unanswered emails...

it's been the best and worst of weeks since my last post.
finding out that i was pregnant but only to miscarry days later. it's all over again.

and although i said i would open up more and share the real life alongside the creative in this new space...right now i'm struggling to put into words how i feel.

i know that so many people go through this. for us it was the first time we ever got to experience the joy of seeing a positive result on a pregnancy test in the four years we've been trying to start a family. a long journey to that point and a long long way to fall since things went wrong.

it's not that i want to pretend that nothing has happened but for me it's still too soon to write more. but i will. i hope it will help lift the grey clouds hanging outside and indoors.

  6. oh kelly, am so sorry to read this, you will be heartbroken, i know. take time to grieve, doesn't matter how early on this happened, a loss is a loss. one thing, is you know now, albeit with some assistance, that your body can get pregnant, and can and will do again. make sure you rest, miscarriages can really take it out of you, look after yourself, x.

    I do not know you but I am sending my deepest wishes.
    I know what it feels like, I have been there....It does get better and you do find the strength to go again. It finally worked for me after 8 years of Ivf.
    Take care of yourself.
