My name is Priya Vara. First and foremost – I am a mother. My little family consists of my loving husband Kevin, my three year old daughter Niva and our newest addition – our angel Shayen. Shayen was born still.

I have found that writing has helped me massively in my grieving process which is the main reason why I started this blog. I also want to share my words – my thoughts, my feelings, my experiences. We live in a world where people strive for perfection. Life doesn’t prepare you for managing the not so perfect parts that can often be thrown your way. No parent should ever have to go through the loss of a child but the fact that it is rarely talked about makes going through it so much harder. Although there are forums and support groups available – I have found that the raw feelings and reality of this topic are just more taboo.

I hope those going through this find some sort of comfort in my words. I hope those not going through it gain a bit of insight into what parents like me are going through (and also feel thankful that they aren’t members of this club that no one wants to be a part of).

Peace, Love and Light to All x x x
