ABOUT THE AUTHOR – Rachael Tickner

Rachael, the author, and her husband, Brenton lost their first baby in December of 2013, just days before Christmas. They had a second loss in May, 2014. Since then, they have met many other families who have suffered losses similar to theirs.

Their first pregnancy was a missed miscarriage, which resulted in their little boy being born via Dilation and Curettage. Their second loss was sadly an ectopic pregnancy which ruptured and threatened Rachael’s health.

Once the medical emergency was discovered and diagnosed, she underwent surgery.

Rachael gave birth to their son, Oliver, in July 2015 on a perfect winter’s day. They were then again blessed with son Oscar who was born in November 2017. Oscar had a slightly more turbulent entrance to the world and spent his first 12 hours in special care but now he is a thriving, beautiful little boy.

Rachael suffered anxiety as a result of her losses and writes on her blogs, The Pink Jubilee, The Baby Blossom and The Beauty Blossom, about her experiences of life after loss and the wonderful journey that is parenthood.

The Tickners feel very blessed indeed and are so grateful for their two boys who bring joy and happiness to their lives each and every single day.
