“As I approached a few engraving companies not really sure about what I

wanted, I found designing my son’s memorial plaques with Bay Engraving really easy. They offered a friendly, accommodating service with the compassion needed at that difficult time where some were just out for the money and far too business like. I had totally unique plaques made to keep the precious words that my other children had written shortly after we lost Ross. They sit alongside specially chosen roses in Ross’ Garden.

Like many of you, we left the hospital exchanging our lovely little boy for a folder closed tightly which enclosed his last few photographs, a lock of hair and the last foot & hand-prints we would ever be able to make. We were also able to use the hand-prints that we last took from Ross’ delicate little hands to make ‘Welcome to Ross’ Garden’ plaques.

A team of people I would definitely recommend who have supported "UD" ever since. Please look at their site, you can place orders online or speak to them directly”.

The Aim is to write honest accounts of our journey through the diagnosis/loss of a child.

 

Our book wants to contain messages of comfort and readable sized journals from at least 4 families who have suffered the tragic loss of a child too. This opportunity is also open to the loss of anyone where children have been involved or affected for example loss of a friend or very close relative.

We are all different; in beliefs, feelings, culture, religion and so, its purpose is to follow a range of pathways and outcomes at different stages to highlight that there is no set rule to ‘grieving’ and ‘moving on’
in the hope to offer others comfort and a  sense of rationalisation
within their thoughts.
 

It is also being composed to offer the bulk of

information in one place, to help others make some of the tough decisions that we have been faced with.
 

If you are now in this isolated world, there will be a flood of unanswered questions about what has happened, emotions that enter your head that you may have never envisaged; whilst now having to make the worst preparations ever. In addition you may also have other children in your family to consider as well. Some will be clear on their future involvement and others wont know what to
do at all.

 

You will be bombarded with information but, some options available to you may only be found if you think to ask; others may pass over you in the midst of all you have to take in. Containing these in a book that we hope to donate to families may

help you re-cap & make decisions that you may otherwise have not been aware of, meaning that we may  reduce the possibility of future regret.
 

We hope readers will connect with some of the families writing and not feel so strange about decisions or feelings and that they will receive little comfort knowing that their family is not alone in their journey that now begins….

 

We will also be adding a Tributes & Memorial section where we will ask for small donations and entries to help raise the funds to publish such a book.
If you think you would feel the benefits from being involved in writing or adding a tribute about someone close to you then please contact us for more information.
