Paula's Story: MDA has made my grief journey possible
Mum was very unwell during her final weeks, but being very pregnant I didn't mind just lying in bed with her for most of the day and I now cherish this time I had with her.
Steph's Story: I became a motherless daughter at age four
As I got older it started to hit me a little harder that she was gone. I always envied my friends when their mums would pick them up from school, take them shopping and simply have someone to call ‘MUM’.

She was my favourite person, my sense of home, my safe space, the centre of mine, my siblings and father’s world. She was fun and adventurous, loving and kind, sweet and compassionate. She was a lot of things to a lot of people, but to me she was just my mum and I freakin loved her.
