I am a Dad of two daughters, one who is already in heaven.
As a baby loss father I am always thinking about how to be a Dad to a daughter who is not here. I can’t cuddle or talk to her. How do I show her how much I love her? I know how to be a dad to a living child and have been practising this for 4 years; building igloos in the snow with Bella, taking her canoeing, teaching her to ride her bike. But I can’t do any of this for our precious baby Emma.
We lost little Emma in February 2018, and soon after contacted Pregnancy Crisis Care who offer an amazing counselling service. We were able to work through our grief and talk about how losing Emma has made us feel and has impacted on our life. The support they have provided us has been truly incredible.
Now as I learn how to be a dad to a daughter in heaven, cycling to Paris is just one way I can start to learn how to express my love for Emma and to raise money for an incredible charity.
