This week saw the opening of my Jewellery web site at www.angels-jewellery.com
I have been feeling so much better since making jewellery, its almost a healing feeling and I am sure that Oliver is smiling down on me while I make them.
In the New year I will be making Angel charm necklaces, they will be in Tibetan silver, so please keep checking the web site for these.

Think Before You Speak
Dear Friend, today you broke my heart,
In a place that was unbroken.
You did it with your thoughtless words
That should not have been spoken.
You know that I am grieving,
That my pain is deep and real.
Your hurtful words pierced like a knife.
How do you think I feel?
You may not suffer from my loss
Or share this lonely grief,
But I'm mourning my baby,
Who's life was much too brief.
I'm sure you don't know how I feel,
I don't expect you to.
Don't ask me to get over it....
That's something I can't do.
Without grief, there's no healing
It's a journey I must make.
It's not the path that I would choose,
but one I'm forced to take.
No matter how you choose to see
What I am going through,
I need compassion and support....
I'd do the same for you.

Missing you Oliver but now you can go where ever you want to go with us.
Wednesday, 8 June 2011
As i sit here looking out of the window i see all the glory of what is high in the sky, the fluffy clouds as they sail on by, the wind in the big tree and the birds gliding.
I see what you see no matter where you are, Tonight i am aching to hold you knowing that your birth should be approaching although it was sooner than expected. My heart feels very heavy tonight and tonight its not just you baby boy.
If you could have ever looked in my eyes you would have seen your mummy for who she is. a mother who is so wrapped up in her children and is nothing withought them.
Gonna light a candle for you now and for your other Brothers and sisters who would have so loved you.
I will also light a candle for those who find it hard to realise that grief is a powerful torture in the hope that they can understand a way to encourage others rather than causing more pain.
Goodnight to all my little mateys love mum ( mummy) xxx

It`s now been just over 3 months since I lost my baby son Oliver to a neural tube defect. I feel deflated and nothing seems to take this pain away.When i try to go to sleep I am now getting night terrors, i catch my breath with them and its reaaly getting me down because i am just so exhausted all the time.
I dont know how people expect me to be in a good mood right now and i am trying my best to try and not be so grumpy, but people need to understand that i am still getting over the birth, my hormones are running high and not even got my son to hold.
Only in time will i get better with this, not sure how long it takes to heal a broken heart, maybe never.
All i have done since i woke up this morning is cry, I am so fed up with crying! I can hardley talk because my throat is so sore, and i have been suffering with a high temp since yesterday also Hot and cold :(
I have just finished my house work so am gonna wrap myself up in duvet and do some colouring with my daughter.
I wish some people were more understanding of my situation, its not like I want to feel this way, I wouldnt wish this on my worst enemy.

Facing a daily challenge in grieving, its the hardest thing to do. I wake up and for a split second the pain is not there and then suddenly remember that it is and it hurts so much. I will never be the same again, I am a changed person no longer Debbie only in the way i look.

Good afternoon my Precious Oliver
♥ڿڰۣಌ ♥ڿڰۣಌ ♥ڿڰۣಌ ♥ڿڰۣಌ ♥ڿڰۣಌ ♥ڿڰۣಌ
When I have no one to turn to
And I am feeling kind of low,
When there is no one to talk to
And nowhere I want to go,
I search deep within myself
It is the love inside my heart
That lets me know my Angels are there
Even though we are miles apart.
A smile then appears upon my face
And the sun begins to shine.
I hear a voice, so soft and sweet
Saying, 'Everything will be just fine'
It may seem that I am alone
But I am never by myself at all.
Whenever I need my Angels near
All I have to do is call.
An Angel's love is always true
On that you can depend.
They will always stand behind you
And will always be your friend.
Through darkest hours and brightest days
Our Angel's see us through
They smile when we are happy, and will cry when we are blue..
Missing you my little matey, feels like I am going to cry until i filled an ocean.
love Mummy

I have been researching on the internet about Folic acid and the benefits it has to us and for developing babies.
I was not aware when i fell pregnant with Oliver how important it was to take the correct dosage for a women my age. I have always know about Folic acid as i have 5 healthy children and did take Folic during each pregnancy.
I am adding from wikipedia what folic acid is and the importance it has to us.
Folic acid (also known as vitamin B9,[3] vitamin Bc[4] or folacin) and folate (the naturally occurring form), as well as pteroyl-L-glutamic acid, pteroyl-L-glutamate, and pteroylmonoglutamic acid[5] are forms of the water-soluble vitamin B9. Folic acid is itself not biologically active, but its biological importance is due to tetrahydrofolate and other derivatives after its conversion to dihydrofolic acid in the liver.[6]
Vitamin B9 (folic acid and folate inclusive) is essential to numerous bodily functions. The human body needs folate to synthesize DNA, repair DNA, and methylate DNA as well as to act as a cofactor in biological reactions involving folate.[7] It is especially important in aiding rapid cell division and growth, such as in infancy and pregnancy, as well as in "feeding" some cancers. While a normal diet also high in natural folates may decrease the risk of cancer, there is diverse evidence that high folate intake from supplementation may actually promote some cancers as well as precancerous tumors and lesions. Children and adults both require folic acid to produce healthy red blood cells and prevent anemia.[8]
Folate and folic acid derive their names from the Latin word folium (which means "leaf"). Leafy vegetables are a principal source, although in Western diets fortified cereals and bread may be a larger dietary source.
A lack of dietary folic acid leads to folate deficiency which is uncommon in normal Western diets. Failures to replenish one's folates might not manifest themselves as folate deficiency for 4 months because a healthy individual has about 500–20,000 mcg[9] of folate in body stores.[10] This deficiency can result in many health problems, the most notable one being neural tube defects in developing embryos. Common symptoms of folate deficiency include diarrhea, macrocytic anemia with weakness or shortness of breath, nerve damage with weakness and limb numbness (peripheral neuropathy)[citation needed], pregnancy complications, mental confusion, forgetfulness or other cognitive declines, mental depression, sore or swollen tongue, peptic or mouth ulcers, headaches, heart palpitations, irritability, and behavioral disorders. Low levels of folate can also lead to homocysteine accumulation.[7] DNA synthesis and repair are impaired and this could lead to cancer development.[7] Supplementation in patients with ischaemic heart disease may also lead to increased rates of cancer.[11]
I was not aware when i fell pregnant with Oliver how important it was to take the correct dosage for a women my age. I have always know about Folic acid as i have 5 healthy children and did take Folic during each pregnancy.
I am adding from wikipedia what folic acid is and the importance it has to us.
Folic acid (also known as vitamin B9,[3] vitamin Bc[4] or folacin) and folate (the naturally occurring form), as well as pteroyl-L-glutamic acid, pteroyl-L-glutamate, and pteroylmonoglutamic acid[5] are forms of the water-soluble vitamin B9. Folic acid is itself not biologically active, but its biological importance is due to tetrahydrofolate and other derivatives after its conversion to dihydrofolic acid in the liver.[6]
Vitamin B9 (folic acid and folate inclusive) is essential to numerous bodily functions. The human body needs folate to synthesize DNA, repair DNA, and methylate DNA as well as to act as a cofactor in biological reactions involving folate.[7] It is especially important in aiding rapid cell division and growth, such as in infancy and pregnancy, as well as in "feeding" some cancers. While a normal diet also high in natural folates may decrease the risk of cancer, there is diverse evidence that high folate intake from supplementation may actually promote some cancers as well as precancerous tumors and lesions. Children and adults both require folic acid to produce healthy red blood cells and prevent anemia.[8]

Yesterday was an extremely awful day for myself and many other angel mums. It suprises me how people take pleasure in stealing other angels mums pictures of their angels.
I think its distgusting and totally disrespectful!
I wish there was something that could be done to protect our pictures but there dosnt seem to be unless we copyright every single one of them.
I may look into it though as really dnt want olivers pictures used for sick sites.
If you have any ideas please post a comment

Folic Acid: What every woman should know...
Women having a chatYou need to take start taking folic acid BEFORE you become pregnant. Why?
Because folic acid can help to prevent birth defects such as spina bifida which occur in the first 28 days of pregnancy – before many women even know they are pregnant.
Up to 70% of neural tube defects (NTDs) including spina bifida can be prevented by taking the right amount of folic acid at the right time.
How much should I take?
Folic Acid Pills
"Health professionals recommend that if you could become pregnant, whether you are trying for a baby or not, you should take a supplement of folic acid each day. This is because it is difficult to tell exactly when you conceive."
The standard dose is 400mcg daily. Ideally, this should be taken for at least 3 months before conception and also during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.
BUT you are likely to need a larger dose (5mg) if you are in a higher risk category e.g. if you or your partner have a family history of NTD, or you have diabetes, epilepsy, coeliac disease or are very overweight.
If you think you may need the higher dose it is very important that you see your GP to discuss this BEFORE you get pregnant.
Where can I get Folic Acid?
Tablets containing the standard dose (400mcg) of folic acid are widely available in chemists and supermarkets. If you need the higher dose (5mg) you will need to ask your GP for a prescription.
Do I really need to take Folic Acid even if I have a healthy diet?
Yes! Although it is good to eat foods which are high in folates (the natural form of folic acid) and foods that have folic acid added to them (such as fortified cereals), you still need to take folic acid tablets as well to prevent neural tube defects.
Where can I find out more?
* Need to increase Folic Acid in the UK
* Folic Acid and the Prevention of Spina Bifida and other Neural Tube defects
* NHS Leaflet ‘Folic Acid what every woman should know’
* Folic Acid Factsheet – Kellogg’s kindly produced this factsheet in conjunction with ASBAH. Kellogg’s cereals are fortified with folic acid.

Today i saw a butterfly
it reminded me of you
its tiny wings were magical
so wonderful and new.
Today i think i saw you
in that butterfly i saw
i`m sure i heard a whisper
as it sat upon the floor
the whisper that i heard
was from the flapping of its wings
it was the name of angels
that you play with in my dreams
i miss you baby oliver
i miss you every day
and in the beauty of this butterfly
your name will always stay
made for you Oliver by mummy xxx

Yesterday was such a fantastic day spent with my family,and i am sure it was very healing for my mind as well.
I realised that through my grief I can and am allowed to take time out for myself and enjoy what there is around me.
we went to a military exhibition and then spent time playing on the beach it was awesome. we also caught the sun so am now feeling very brown :)
Today we are off to another event , a car show so am looking forward to that as well.

I never realised how hard grieving could be, its an emotional rollercoaster. People think you are ok when you are not and then when you say how you are feeling people seem to either avoid you or tell you to move on.
I have however managed to find some new friends through my grieving in groups via facebook.
We all have very different stories but the one thing we all share is our Grief. I have learnt that it is ok to chat about how you feel, and my new friends do not condemn me when i feel angry or want a good rant, after all losing a baby,child or any loved one is the hardest thing that we have to face as humans.
There are days where i do not even feel like getting out of my bed, days where i feel like i caannot go on any more, then you get the days where you laugh so much you think that your ribs may break.
I am good at hiding how I am feeling in case i upset my children and have built a brick wall at my hardest of times through my grieving proccess. I have asked many questions about how do you grieve? and i come to the conclusion that i have to take little steps in order to heal mmy heart, soul and mind.
I am allowing myself to have days where i cannot be bothered if i dont do anything, the housework wil get done when it gets done and as long as my children are fed, watered and loved they will be fine as well. I am lucky to have the support from my husband who is always there to offer an ear,hug or make me a cuppa tea or make sure that I eat.
I feel like fathers are sometimes left out with the death of a child but there is also a group that runs along side grieving mothers called Grieving fathers
I am trying as well in my grieving to make people aware of how my sons condition took his life at just 16 weeks and 3 days into my pregnancy
my son Oliver suffered with Myelomeningocele
Myelomeningocele is the most severe spina bifida type. It occurs when the spinal cord is exposed through an opening in the spine, resulting in partial or complete paralysis of the parts of the body that are below the spinal opening. The paralysis may be so severe that the affected individual is unable to walk and may have urinary and bowel dysfunction.In olivers case his condition was so bad that not only had he been paralized but also had severe brain damage which was so horrific and to the extent that Oliver would have never survived birth.
Preventing Spina Bifida
Recent studies have shown that one factor that increases the risk of having an NTD baby is low folic acid status before conception and during the first few weeks of pregnancy. If all women of childbearing age were to consume 0.4 mg of folic acid prior to becoming pregnant and during the first trimester of pregnancy, the incidence of folic acid preventable spina bifida and anencephaly could be reduced by up to 75%!!
If you are howeveer and older parent like myself it is important to see your GP to be prescribed rthe right dosage as the usual dosage for women younger may not be enough
What is Folic Acid?
Folic acid, a common water-soluble B vitamin, is essential for the functioning of the human body. During periods of rapid growth, such as pregnancy and fetal development, the body's requirement for this vitamin increases. Folic acid can be found in multivitamins, fortified breakfast cereals, dark green leafy vegetables such as broccoli and spinach, egg yolks, and some fruits and fruit juices. However, the average American diet does not supply the recommended level of folic acid.

would you hold my hand when i felt afraid
wipe my tears and make me brave.
tell me that it will be ok.
strong to fight another day.
walk with me down that darkened road
make me laugh as i am growing old.
would you sit with me when i feel alone
make me feel like i am at home.
make me smile when i start to stutter
close the door when i feel a shudder.
to this i ask my closest friends
we will be together till the end
wipe my tears and make me brave.

when a bad morning turns into something good.
Everything seemed to be ok when i first woke up, felt alive in my heart then realised i was still missing out on the one person that wanted to be cuddled upto and thats baby oliver. I sat here feeling very sorry formyself and then looked out of the window. There is a big tree and its leaves were blowing in the wind, it was then that i thought that ok Olivers not here and everyday the pain really hurts but i can see him in everything that i look at.
I watched the tree gain its new set of leaves this year. it looked so sad without them like a skeleton but day by day the leaves formed and this is how i think my heart will start to mend...day by day
I want to be as strong as that tree, go from nothing to soemthing beautiful :)

And wish that thou wert by.

Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn't work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves. Then we would have to say good-bye. I hate good-byes. I know what I need. I need more hellos. ~Charles M. Schulz
Where'er I roam, whatever realms to see,
My heart untravelled, fondly turns to thee;
Still to my brother turns, with ceaseless pain,
And drags at each remove a lengthening chain.

She went and left in me
The pang of all the partings gone,
And partings yet to be.

One kind kiss before we part,
Drop a tear, and bid adieu;
Though we sever, my fond heart
Till we meet shall pant for you.

Ye birds that, left by summer, cease to sing,
Ye trees that fade, when Autumn heats remove,
Say, is not absence death to those who love?
~Alexander Pope
A goodbye isn't painful unless you're never going to say hello again. ~Author Unknown
Don't be dismayed by good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again after moments or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends. ~Richard Bach
Ever absent, ever near;
Still I see thee, still I hear;
Yet I cannot reach thee, dear!
~Francis Kazinczy
Missing you could turn from pain to pleasure, if I knew you were missing me too. ~Author Unknown
Absence diminishes little passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and fans a fire. ~Francois Duc de la Rochefoucauld, translated from French
The eternal quest of the individual human being is to shatter his loneliness. ~Norman Cousins
It is loneliness that makes the loudest noise. This is true of men as of dogs. ~Eric Hoffer
