I feel extremely privileged that since I began writing about losing Teddy, and the life that we have found ourselves in since that day, that people now write to me to share their experiences of loss. Hearing that others have found comfort in my words after losing a child or have been able to make sense of their own feelings during loss, makes me realise how essential it is for us all to try and talk about this subject as openly as possible. It makes people feel less alone, and that can only be a good thing.
