The moment I had to say goodbye forever to our beautiful daughter. I would soon take her on her first walk, in her tiny white coffin. Maternity safety must improve 💔 #mentalhealthawarnessweek #SaferMaternity #grief #babyloss #talkaboutthem

The perfect feet that never got to be tickled, that never made mummy and daddy try and find the missing sock and that never got to walk their first steps. We are so proud of you Harriet. We will always talk about you and always keep your memory alive. #BLAW2022 #BLAW #Grief

#NationalGriefAwarenessWeek . Our baby who never got to come home, who never got to wake us up during the night and who never got to see and feel the love that was sat ready for her 💔. This #christmas she should be 7. I miss her so much. I just want the world to know about her

My heart bursts. The best Daddy in the world cuddling our daughter. It was the last cuddle he would ever get before we would cradle her tiny white coffin. To all the Dad’s out there who are without their kids today - we see you💔❤️ #FathersDay #Grief #fatherdaughter #babyloss

Our beautiful daughter is 7 today. We have a cake and candle ready only Harriet won’t blow it out …. because she’s dead. I’m so proud of my daughter. Today I just want the 🌎 to say her name 💔❤️ #grief #safermaternity #HarrietHawkins #world

Today my beautiful daughter should be 8 yrs old. Apparently it gets “easier” and time “heals” but it doesn’t. I’m so broken and I miss her so much. I just want to show Harriet off to the world.

Harriet should be going to school 2day. Our beautiful 7 yr old who’s life was stolen from us. The empty cries, laughter and shoes 💔. We will forever be proud of Harriet and remember her every milestone. #BacktoSchool2023 #Grief #saytheirnames #BackToSchool #safermaternity

Instead of taking our healthy baby home we had to read Harriet her last story and said goodbye forever. That feeling will never leave me. #NationalBereavedParentsDay #maternitysafety

I just want one more hug with my daughter but this will never happen. Harriet died. Not because she was too early, or poorly, or small but because I received unsafe care. Harriet deserved better. Many other families suffering 2day deserved better #MotheringSunday #mothersday2024

My body had just given birth, I had hair loss, breasts were leaking and so many phantom kicks … but my baby was dead. I longed to hold her every waking hour + sleep brought me no peace as I dreamt I was still pregnant. #mentalhealthawarenessweek2023 #PTSD #safermaterniry

Our beautiful daughter. We were so excited and ready to start family life. Sadly our parenting journey would be one to that of a dead baby. The ‘club’ that no one wants to be in and most painfully we shouldn’t be in. #safermaternity #NationalBereavedParentsDay #Nottingham

One of my favourite photos. I’ll never forget the feeling of her weight in my arms, her perfectly soft baby skin against my skin and the feeling of her tiny little toes against my tummy. One of our first and last family photos with Harriet #BLAW2022 #talkaboutthem #proud

I can still remember the feeling of her curly hair, her soft skin against my cheek and the weight of her in my arms. Harriet should be 8 now. My body and heart misses her just as much as the day she died. Pls remember to say their names no matter how long has passed. #BLAW

To everyone who liked and commented on my last tweet, thank you. It is such a lonely world without Harriet but in some way keeping her legacy alive keeps her alive. Harriet should be alive. No other family should have to endure this avoidable pain. #safermaternity #sundayvibes
