Doodle Pop:
“Doodle Pop came about during the pregnancy of her third child, Gabriel. She started to make a large doodle for his birth announcement – large enough to have him laid in the middle of it, like a huge beautiful picture frame. She used this as his birth announcement, shortly after he was stillborn at 31 weeks gestation on the 14th December 2017. The doodles she does are one of a kind and provide immense comfort to families.”
Heart In Their Hand:
“A keyring with a heart cut out which enables beautiful memories to be created during a family’s vital time with their child, and the photographs I have seen families create with them are truly stunning. Being able to leave the heart in their child’s hand is such a beautiful piece of symbolism for bereaved parents. And having the keyring from which the heart has been cut to sit on their keyring with them for ever means so, so much to parents.”
Gail Windows:
“Gail has been knitting beautiful knitted pockets in her own time with no cost and had distributed them to local hospitals across the midlands. When my daughter was born sleeping at 28 weeks the hospital gave me a knitted dress to dress my daughter. She looked beautiful in it. It was so lovely to be able to dress her especially as it would be my only chance to dress her before saying my final goodbyes. This inspired my lovely auntie Gail to make knitted pockets for other angel families and their babies.”
Lexi Dolls:
“Lexi was a very loved baby and her death devastated the whole family including Jessica’s nieces. These children needed comfort – and the family gave them “Lexi Dolls” so they had an outlet for their love and grief for baby Lexi. This was such a help and comfort for the children that it became the family’s dream to offer this comfort to other bereaved siblings and to honour Lexi’s memory. Lexi dolls are absolutely lovely friendly little fabric dolls, and there is truly a doll for everyone as they are made in a wide range of skin and hair tones to resonate with the diverse population of the UK.”
Tiny Souls Bereavement Photography
“There are no words to thank Jo for being there when my baby boy Kolby was breathing his last hours on this earth. She showed care kindness and compassion, she gave up most of her day , she hugged me when I cried, she cried with me. Most of all through tiny souls she has captured memories i will forever keep, she got every detail and presented it to me in a beautiful keepsake box. ”
Remember My Baby:
“Id like to nominate this amazing charity. One of their volunteer photographers (Tammy) came to the Royal Surrey Guilford Hospital on a Friday night when my baby had died. A few weeks later I received the most amazing photographs of my son as well as of his hands, feet even his ear – which I couldn’t remember even seeing due to the state I was in. Without her and this charity I would never know what my sons ears, feet and hands would look like.”
