About Little Butterfly

There is a gift in grief and that is to realise how truly human you are. To be humbled by life's tenderness and witness the fragility in our humanness. Don't get me wrong, I would change everything to have my baby boys in my arms but they are not here. What I have experienced as I walk the path of grief is that our connection to one another, and our vulnerability, are what carry us through.

​

We need each other when we are grieving more than ever but we don't know how, why or what to do. Little Butterfly is a place where I share my thoughts out loud as part of my mourning process. I hope that my words can be a source of comfort and advice for anyone navigating baby loss, whether it is yourself, your friend, or a family member.

​

In honour of my two baby boys who ran ahead, my love for them fuels the energy to create the Little Butterfly care packs for other bereaved parents whose babies did not make it home. Care packs are donated to Waitamatā hospital where I birthed both of my baby boys. They are also available for purchase should you wish to gift one to a friend somewhere else in the country.

Butterflies are symbolic to so many in so many ways. They go through a transformation, a death, and a rebirth. They symbolise bravery while surrendering and trusting the process of transformation and with their graceful transition they make us feel hope, hope that we can trust again, hope that we can rebuild our lives after loss.
