I Have Just Watched The Most Amazing DVD,
Tonight, after another hectic day in the city attending my studies in my counselling course, I watched a most amazing DVD, called "Losing Layla".
It is made by an Australian journalist called Vanessa Gorman, and the film is a powerful and moving video diary documentary, which takes a ride through pregnancy, a difficult birth, her baby's death and the raw scenes of grief captured in the months afterwards. "Losing Layla" was made in 2002, but the copy I watched tonight has a follow up from "Australian Story" on Vanessa's subsequent pregnancy and also a home movie made in 2005. For anyone who has had the indescribable pain of losing a baby, I would highly recommend watching this DVD, with lots of boxes of tissues. Even though I lost Nicholas almost 15 years ago, it has really helped me to try and make some sort of sense or reason as to why I lost Nicholas, and the very difficult lessons I have learned since then.
Copies of the DVD "Losing Layla" can be ordered through Vanessa's website, which is,

I must get back to studying for now, but hopefully I'll put up another post very soon, I just wanted to share this with you.
