The inspiring individual has decided to share her story to help others deal with their loss
A Glasgow mum has praised charity SiMBA for supporting her through one of the darkest periods in her life after she lost her daughter.
She told Glasgow Live: "I went into labour at 33 weeks which was a bit of a shock to my system because I didn't know such a thing existed. "They explained how lucky I was to survive and how brave I was. She told me about this charity called SIMBA that provided memory boxes for people. "I didn't know how to cope with my loss. This box meant that somebody cares about what I've been through.
"My daughter will always have part of me with her and I'll always have part of her with me. I didn't want her to be getting buried alone so putting the knitted teddy bear beside her gave me some comfort because I knew she wasn't going to be alone.The mum was also able to stay alongside her daughter in one of the family rooms funded by SiMBA in the hospital.
The family had the opportunity to take pictures with Jessica, however, the heartbroken mum forgot the email address to contact to receive the important pictures. "Loads of family and friends were there for me but sometimes they don't understand how I feel about certain things and it was so nice to connect with people who get it."
"So when I first heard the news they might be shutting it really broke my heart. I remember when I went to my first meeting, I spoke to one of the facilitators and he said there was only one cuddle cot in the hospital when he lost his baby so they only got to spend one day with their child. "Sharing my story keeps Jessica's name alive. I'm at a good place with my loss. Everything I do is in memory of Jessica. She wouldn't want me to sit back and watch SiMBA close it's doors.
