My Story…
It's that time of year again! We're raising money for the Roger Neilson House in support of their wonderful work with the Perinatal Bereavement Program. Seven years ago, our newborn son, Michael passed away due to complications related to prematurity. It was a devasting time for us. I found comfort in the newly formed Bereavement program which included free grief counselling services as well a community of support with people of in similar circumstances. I had no idea, how many women and couples go through perinatal loss, because no one talked about it. Older generations would advise to forget about it, friends wouldn't know what to say, there I could feel free to just be seen, and start to heal. Since the Butterfly run in Ottawa started in 2017. The event has raised ~$500000. They have been able to expand services to more women, families and even grandparents. Please consider providing a donation to this wonderful cause or join our team "Marching for Michael"!
