And just like that! On 10th October, the Baby Bereavement Garden at Broomfield Hospital @MSEHospitals for which I contributed to its design, was formally opened by the Bereavement Midwife Team Blossom Suite as part of Baby Loss Awareness Week 2022 @BLA_Campaign

In memory of all babies gone too soon. Always loved, never forgotten💖💙 #BabyLossAwarenessWeek #BLAW #WaveOfLight

This garden design is dedicated to the lady I met in Chelmsford Library and am hoping she will hear about this garden and come back to Broomfield, one day. #Babylossawareness #BLAW2022 #babybereavement #healinggarden #hospitaalgarden #broomfieldhospital #gardendesign #chelmsford

Finally, huge thank you to @tessiegtalk at @MSEHospCharity who has tirelessly worked to help families and friends of hospitals for long years. All gardens supported by the Charity wouldn't have been achieved without her support and passion for healing gardens.

It was such a pleasure to see everyone was enjoying the garden with their rainbow babies and I felt so privileged to be appointed as a designer for this garden. #chelmsford #Babylossawareness #blaw2022

A gate leading to the woodland at the end of the journey is, again, open to interpretation - some may see it as a place where the baby's sprit fly through the gate to the beautiful woodland.

The design concept of this garden is a 'butterfly garden'. This garden area is not specific to any religion or background. Butterfly is open to interpretation - it can be a symbol of spirit, soul, or angel. @BLA_Campaign

The short journey to the quiet seating area was created so the families have a contemplative walk. Semi-permeable fencing was provided as a screen so that people have respect for others in the garden.

Not long after that, a bereavement midwife, Lyndsy at Broomfield contacted my husband Richard, grounds and gardens manager at the hospital, to ask whether there was any location to put a baby bereavement garden, and I said 'yes!! I will design it!'.

About 5 years ago when I had my first son, I went to a baby group held in Chelmsford Library and met a lady with her baby there. We started talking about our birth experience and she said she had a baby in Basildon Hospital although she lived in Chelmsford. Continue to comments.

I asked her why then she told me that she lost her first baby at Broomfield the day after the baby was born and she never wanted to go back as it was too painful. I was so shocked and urged to create a place where she could come back at Broomfield and remember her baby.

Our new garden, which is a safe and welcoming sanctuary for families who have lost their babies, has opened for the first time at Broomfield Hospital as part of Babyloss Awareness Week #BLAW2022 💖💙 Read more here: orlo.uk/N3Jtn
