Footprints On My Heart: The Unspoken Journey into Parenthood

No one can prepare you for the loss of your baby. You never think it will happen to you. But sadly, miscarriage happens to all too many women. The author is one such woman. After experiencing multiple pregnancy losses, including a baby girl, Evelyn, in 2020, the author began to write poetry to help express and understand her feelings.

Footprints on My Heart explores the unspoken journey into parenthood. Full of raw, hidden and incomprehensible emotions which society shies away from, this book delves into the depths of grief, without losing sight of a mother’s unconditional love and her everlasting hope. Additionally, it examines many concepts, including grieving for someone you have never met, whether you’re a mother if there is no baby, and how to live with the devastating pain of loss.

However you have stumbled across this comforting book - whether it’s due to your own loss or someone close to you - the author has written this with you in mind and hopes to help you work through this devastating time.

Grief is love that simply has nowhere to go. We grieve because love existed before it. We can walk this journey alone or hold each other’s hands and walk through the darkness together.
