About Us

---

After my baby daughter, Poppy, died in April 2021, I was so adamant that I didn’t want to be labelled as the girl who’s baby died. I didn’t want that to be all I was known for. I didn’t wanted to be forever looked upon with sad faces and pity.

I set up a blog to support women called Strong & Brave. I used it as an outlet to write about my life, my grief, my loss but also my onward journey. 

Late in 2022, someone I had met through the child loss community took her own life. I had spoken with her on several occasions, she’d found me through Strong & Brave. Her loss, even though I’d never met her in person, hit me hard.

I took a step back to look at Strong & Brave, in a bid to make it not just about loss, I was potentially triggering those who came to look for help, support and someone who could relate.

I decided it was time to create a separate, safe haven for all those reeling from the pain and anguish of child loss, for those who were grieving, for those who felt alone in the darkness. 

And so, A Perfect Poppy was born.

Our perfect Poppy was born in April 2021 and we had her in our lives for just 12 hours, due to complications during birth, our Poppy was so ill, we were told she would not survive. Despite every prayer, wish and begging, we held our daughter as she fell asleep forever. My world broke that day.

This website is my story. This website is my safe space. This website is for all those who feel like they will never recover. 

I see you, I got you. You are not alone.
