I fell pregnant in 2008. My baby wasn’t growing and she sadly passed away at 28 weeks gestation. I gave birth to her without a breath. This was the first time in my life I actually went into depression. So I started journaling and writing about my two pregnancies and how they made me feel. It was a healing process. In 2009 I miscarried my third pregnancy and I thought something was wrong with me. My live changed in 2010 when my beautiful son was born. I worried throughout the pregnancy and he was born via emergency c-section after being induced. During this time I continued to write and hold fundraisers to donate to charity organizations that support families going through pregnancy and infant loss. We were determined to have another baby however in 2012, I miscarried again. It was hard to difficult to deal with but I now had a two year old I had to look after. I didn’t have time to grieve. In 2013 I gave birth to my second son via c-section. Planned, but not by choice. When my baby was nine months, I published a memoir of my pregnancies. This one book landed me articles in newspapers, a national magazine, a speaking event and known on social media. I’ve since compiled and published two books to help other families through pregnancies loss and struggles during and after pregnancy. I’ve contributed to three other anthologies. I’ve become a support companion for the Pink Elephants Support Network, supporting women who have miscarried their baby. And my Letters of Love book series will bring so much inspiration, hope, gratitude and LOVE into the world.
