Babyloss awareness day and the international wave of light are held every year on the 15th October 2012. This year I will be blogging my personal A to Z of babyloss along with Mel at Finley Footprints and other bloggers who wish to remember their babies and raise awareness of miscarriage, still birth and babyloss. I have put together a range of poems which will be an insight into my experience of the death of my babies and will share these through the month of October in the order shown here

Dear Lord
This month especially we bring before you all families of babies who have died too soon. We know that you have them safe in your loving arms but we miss them. Please give them a kiss from us.
Amen.

This topic just breaks my heart. Both because I lost my first pregnancy and because I have four children I can not imagine life without.
