Baby Loss Awareness Week Protest

On Monday I talked about how National Chocolate Week has superseded Baby Loss Awareness Week on the news. It is something that has angered me immensely. I’ve not lost a child, but I know many women who have, and every day I think about how damn brave and strong they are. I am not sure I could survive it.
So, when the news hit me, I hit the roof. Even now a Google News search for Baby Loss Awareness Week delivers scant results, while National Chocolate week is a smorgasbord of choice.
What is this world coming to, honestly, when such a frivolous idea, patently manufactured to bring extra cash into big coffers, supersedes something as important and REAL as Baby Loss Awareness?
If someone deprives you of chocolate for life you’re hardly going to stop coping, are you? If you suddenly lost a bar of chocolate it wouldn’t matter one jot. Now reverse it. Yeah. I am furious.
So, here I am, hoping to make one small difference in the world. If you happen to be in London tomorrow then please do join the ladies as they hold a peaceful protest outside the This Morning studios.
Protesters will be meeting at 11am at the Waterloo station and will walk to the “This Morning” studios. After the protest, campaigners intend to march on 10 Downing Street where they will light their candles at 7pm.
I wish them every success.
