***Help set Darcy Free***
Baby loss can be such a lonely journey!
On the 16th of September 2020 at 34 weeks gestation, I thought to myself, I hadn’t felt my baby boy move like he usually does. I thought about getting checked but didn’t want to be one of those pregnant mums who over-react but after talking to Troy I decided to put our minds at ease and I rang the hospital and they said to go there straight away.
Troy met me at the hospital and we went in for my scan. It was at this moment our world came crashing down with these devastating words..... ‘I’m so sorry, there is no heartbeat’.
The shock set in and we didn’t and couldn’t believe what we are hearing. The “what if’s” and “why us” ran through our heads but nothing could bring our boy back. Everything else from then on was a blur, a nightmare we wanted to wake up from as the doctor prepared me for the birth.
On the 17th of September, 2020 at 9.07am our sweet Angel Darcy James was born via C-section weighing 4 pound, 3 ounces.
He was so perfect, too perfect for this earth.
We got to spend some precious and memorable moments with our Sleeping Angel following his birth – covering him with kisses and cuddles and thinking about the beautiful life he would’ve had.
One minute we’re imagining and planning a beautiful life for our baby boy but in an instant, we’re thinking how to announce our sleeping baby’s birth and making the heartbreaking arrangements of the autopsy and funeral arrangements.
Our whole world has changed, we have changed as people. It’s a dark and lonely time where no one fully understands the struggles, the nightmares and the fear of closing your eyes.
Some people find it difficult to understand our pain and they don’t know what to say, so they slowly distance themselves. Friends become strangers. The hole in our hearts will never heal from the loss of our darling Darcy. Life can be so cruel and unfair.
We want to give Darcy a funeral service and memorial that he deserves and a place for family and friends to visit and remember him always.
As one can imagine, this is a very difficult and also a very expensive time, therefore we have created this GoFundMe page to help relieve some of the financial stress that comes with arranging a memorial. If you would like to help, please donate and help us set Darcy free.
All funds will go towards Darcy monumental work at the cemetery, cremation and cemetery plot. We also will be donating to Angel Gowns Australia and Sands Australia they are a volunteer organisation and an absolute god send in the most difficult time!
