A rollercoaster of emotions. Never again will I doubt that you can achieve anything you set your heart out to do. Thank you Mandy & Steve for sharing your amazing st


Dying with Cancer - Fly On The Wall
As you have expressed an interest in 'Nipples to Kneecaps – to die or not to die with cancer' I wish to share some personal photographs from our family albums and a few extra comments that are not in the book. This photo of me, Steve and Alexander was taken in 1986 a few months after Steve was given three months to live.

The Gift of Being a Soul Mother - stillbirth and death of your baby
The spirit and soul of the stillborn baby and the ones who are born to only stay for a short while (be that an hour, a day, a week or a few months) is looked after, at all times, by the ever present, loving Spirit. The child’s spirit and soul came from Love – from the Source - to stay awhile with the parents.
