Through Grief Comes New Beginnings

Karen and Paul’s journey through loss, healing, and the courage to try again

· Miscarriages,Periods

It is said that love is the most powerful emotion there is and one way or another we will all experience this emotion in its many forms.

The love that takes over you from a positive pregnancy test is instant and overpowering, you don't have control over it. It is a natural love in its most beautiful state, the joy, the belief and pure happiness, your mind wanders, your heart races and you start thinking of due dates, home planning... you enter into a little personal bubble where your mind is just nearly always ahead of your body, thinking of when you will have your baby. This is lovely and exciting but the opposite of this is the part nobody tells you about or even talks about, when all this comes crashing down around you, your world falls apart in an instant and you can't comprehend in your head that this is actually happening right now. You have a miscarriage, a missed miscarriage, a stillbirth, an ectopic pregnancy, whatever your personal experience was, any of them is like being in a nightmare, your world and your heart are broken. This is how our story began... We were blessed with two girls but the heart aching journey that followed as we tried for another baby was a long and emotional journey.

We were losing the biggest battle of our lives. We were in a dark place and we didn't know why we were there and we were lost with no answers. We lost our first baby Feb 2022 at 7 weeks, we lost our little boy Jack Oct 2022 when we were told at the 21 week scan that there was no heartbeat. Our 3rd Nicholas again had another miscarriage at 11 weeks in Feb 2023 and our 4th Daniel at 16 weeks in Oct 2023. After losing Daniel we had no fight left in us but over time our hearts got the better of us and the desire we both had to bring a baby into our lives was built into us and we knew it was part of our life story.

We realised we needed to approach this differently this time we didn't know what but we needed to try something different if we were going to try again. By chance or by faith Paul came across Siobhan Kehoe online and he researched her and her background and we both just got a great feeling about the whole process. So we made contact with Siobhan and started our new journey. We had great belief in her approach. We began journaling, meditation, being open and less stressed. Our home suddenly became less stressful. We both spoke about what was holding us back and our ancestral backgrounds. Siobhan gave us the guidance that allowed us to see the brightness again in our darkest time in our lives. After a small few sessions with Siobhan we conceived within 3 months and we went on to have our beautiful baby boy Daire in March 2025. I had a few sessions during my pregnancy with Siobhan especially when at times the emotions got too much and the mind started wandering to dark places again. I worked on myself and my mindset. Siobhan truly was the missing piece of our jigsaw that enabled us to re focus and reset the minds. She truly shone light into the darkness and from our initial interaction with her we finally had HOPE.

We are very open for anyone going through a similar journey to contact Siobhan and reach out to us if you would like to chat. We want to help others.
