Faith Elizabeth Instagram – TW: Baby Loss 💔 There’s no heartbeat. The dreaded words no expecting parent ever wants to hear.
10 years ago, my baby Theo died whilst growing inside me. I was only 21 years old, I already had my daughter, Summer, but for a moment, my world fell apart.
Refusing to believe these devastating words, I carried Summers doll around for days, hoping, praying, crying out- that somehow the scan was wrong. 🙏🏼
But his soul never made it to our earth. 😓
Many years later, when my sister and my best friend both experienced the same tragedy in the same week- I knew that I had to give some purpose to all the pain. For us. And for everyone else out there affected themselves or through someone they know.
Making this film was one of the HARDEST things I’ve ever done.
Not only because filmmaking itself demands so much of us, but because the grief I felt as I wrote those words, as I dressed the nursery, as I wept uncontrollably into that same doll I had all clung onto those years back- well that grief was all too real.
Making this film was also one of the BEST things I’ve ever done- because this film has started conversations, changed perspectives and touched peoples lives.
And if you think we’re finished there…. Well, this is just the beginning 👼🙏🏼🩷
Huge thanks as always for the support from @mamaacademy & every single person who made this film possible 🎥
YOU helped bring a little tiny bit of good into the world.
