NICU redefines what milestones look like. From millilitres of milk to stable oxygen levels, every tiny victory became something worth celebrating in our journey with Josiah.

Nobody prepares you for the ache of leaving your baby behind each night. This is a reflection on NICU life, separation, grief, and learning to love a child through barriers you never expected.

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. This month holds deep meaning for me as I honour my son, Josiah, and all the precious babies gone too soon.

Grief is as unique as our fingerprints.
It doesn’t follow neat stages or tidy timelines, no matter what we’ve been told. In this blog, I explore compassionate, practical ways to understand grief beyond the “five stages” — including how to navigate its waves, honour your loss, and allow life to grow around it.

Grief is one of the deepest human experiences — universal yet profoundly personal. It connects us all, yet many of us struggle to know what to say or do when someone we love is hurting. In this post, I explore why grief feels so complex, the pressure of “doing it right,” and how we can respond with compassion — to ourselves and others.

Some of us find it genuinely difficult to sit still. To pause, slow down, and simply be. I used to be one of those people — and truthfully, sometimes I still am.
