I was overwhelmed and touched to find out earlier this year that I had been nominated by several people for this years “Butterfly Awards“. I couldn’t believe that so many people read and wanted to acknowledge my writings in speaking out on infant loss.
Then a couple of months ago I received an email to say that I had been shortlisted – WHHHHAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!! I’ll be honest, I went absolutely nuts and then cried a little. This has been the hardest thing in my life and I wanted to share it to help others understand it and raise awareness. I wanted to show people all aspects of life around loosing your baby. I wanted to break the silence and make it less awkward to share our stories. AND now to be acknowledged for this less than a year later; to be nominated and then short-listed is the biggest boost to a grieving mother and blogger.
I hope you will watch this video I have made as part of my profile as a nominee and that it will touch you and help you see an overview of this journey, and if you feel inclined then maybe vote for me??? PLEASE?? Id tots love you to vote for me in the blogger/writer category if any of my posts or story has touched you – T H A N K Y O U
An Awesome video Mary. I need to make my own for my campaign to get the Adrenal Pump- you have inspired me!
Good luck and I hope you win the award and if not- then you can stick a huge badge on your sidebar saying you were nominated as that is a huge achievement in itself. I’m crossing my fingers and toes for you.
