Angel in your life days

The ‘Angel in Your Life Memory Day’ is a special one day workshop for parents who have lost a baby/ies, or a child/children at any stage of pregnancy or early childhood. It is for parents who have experienced a loss from any cause - for example miscarriage, still birth, medical termination, abortion, neo natal death, childhood illness. It is a day of memory for mothers and fathers of special angels.

The aims of the day are simple and beautiful. It is important that parents do not feel alone, and can receive support from people who understand. Parents who have experienced a loss, are also able to provide support to other parents through the shared experience. I would like parents to experience a safe place where they can talk about their memories of their angel. Throughout the day parents will come to recognise, understand and celebrate the special gifts their angel has given them. We will also spend some time sharing ideas that will enable us all to prepare for a future which may not be the way we had imagined it to be.

I am a Mummy of two angels, one through miscarriage and Finley who was born sleeping at 41 weeks. I have written a book of my experiences of my own grief in the two months following Finley’s birth. I have found a sense of peace and gratitude, which has eased the sadness, guilt and fear I initially experienced.

I am an Occupational Therapist, Coach and qualified Teacher making me the ideal person to facilitate this unique event.

Feedback from Angel in Your Life Memory days :-

“my thoughts on the angel day are so great. I feel by going to this day it helped me out a lot. It was so nice to be able to talk about my little angel Hannah Louise and people want to hear about her because some times people just don’t want to hear about our Angel babies. It is nice that we all knew how each other was feeling so you felt you could let yourself really go and talk about the babies. All the relaxing bit was really nice because I got to feel close to my baby and I felt I had some more time with my little angel which was really nice. I would like to go to some more of the angel days because I really felt this helped. It was a great day, I think these days will help lots of other angel mums.”

“Yes I felt it was a very special day, meeting other Angel mums and being able to talk about our feelings helped, I identified with their stories and understood their loss. I felt the energy in The Centre of Light to be very healing and supportive for us all and felt safe and relaxed throughout. I am blessed to have met such amazing ladies and grateful to Mel “

“Yesterday was a great day, I think over the past 5 years I have learnt to hide a lot about how I feel and I suppose I was scared to let go sometimes in case I fell apart but yesterday I think I finally did that. I now know that somehow its all gonna be ok and thats its ok to let go but its not a goodbye. I think the last time I cryed like that was the day I held my beautiful angel in my arms feeling so helpless and knowing there was nothing I could do to help her and at the time being her mum it was my job to protect her and I failed and yesterday somehow that guilt left me and I’m now ready to open a new chapter in my life……lets see what it brings. Love and hugs to u all and our beautiful angels xxxx”
