I hope everyone’s ok. Life’s challenging at the moment and I need to focus on supporting family. With no other people/resources OurSamBabyLossCharity has to wait for now. This article highlights what my own family are coping with. Take care and see you soon ❤️ bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

Apologies for silence from me and OurSamBabyLossCharity in recent weeks. I’ve needed to focus on family following my step-dads unexpected diagnosis of an incurable cancerous brain tumour. Back soon as I can, but I need to support mum right now. Thanks in advance for your understanding.

The last few months have been really challenging, with one thing after another going wrong, which is why I’ve been quiet as I try to find ways forward. This week has thrown another challenge, a completely unexpected, sad and difficult family challenge, so I remain quiet I’m sorry

For all the men and dads affected by pregnancy and baby loss today with a hole in their lives today and every day, sending love from me and everyone at Our Sam today 💙 Ruth_TV ian lang. Sands United

Sorry I’ve been very quiet. I now have tonsillitis after a chest infection and a bad cold prior to that. I think my body is telling me I need to focus on me more.

So I thought I would put this picture here, in the hope that like me you will stop just a minute and take a breath.

The world’s a lonely place for a bereaved parent with empty arms, you never quite fit. I’m proud to do what I am tomorrow, and glad I won’t be alone, but with Hemant and Alex, but I wish I didn’t need to, nobody should lose babies and have to search for support APPG on Baby Loss
