She recommended the book to other mums who have also suffered such a harrowing loss. “Thankfully I remembered this book I received from the bereavement suite at the hospital. Written by @zoeadelle Just turning a few pages and reading the words of someone who understands your experience helps. I recommend anyone who is going through this heartbreak to get hold of a copy,” she advised.

Kirsty recently penned a moving open letter to her darling daughter to help her process her grief.

“Nothing makes sense anymore because I can’t hold you in my arms. I don’t get to see your first smile, your first wriggle, I don’t get to dress you, change your nappy, feed you, bath you, kiss you goodnight and hug you in the morning, watch you take your first steps, watch you grow, But I will always be your mummy,” she wrote.

Our thoughts are with Kirsty on this heartbreaking day. We can’t even begin to imagine how devastating this date is for her.
