    Today, we brought our baby girl home—one week after she was born sleeping. The weight of our grief is just as heavy now as it was that day. Life without her feels impossible to comprehend, and the ache of missing her is beyond anything words could ever express.

    Today we said goodbye to my beautiful baby girl.

    Born on the Winter Solstice — the shortest day, the longest night — and with the rising of Matariki.

    Saturday 21st June, 4:30pm.

    Moe mai rā e hine, kua whetūrangitia koe.

    Rest gently, my darling girl, now among the stars with your tūpuna.

    Tomorrow we begin our journey to Christchurch for your cremation — a journey no mother should ever have to make.

    I love you now and forever.

    You are so loved. You always will be.

    Forever in our hearts. xx

    After 4 days of waiting ant 40 mins of labour Zephyr Kura-hau-pō was born sleeping at 430 pm this afternoon . Devon and I are so happy to meet her , but my heart is breaking that I will never see her meet any of her milestones, see her smile feel her breath on my cheek.

    You are loved - now and forever

  • Update - waiting for our little angel

    Devon and I are still in hospital this Thursday morning. We’re waiting — nothing has happened just yet.

    Our plan is to take our precious baby girl, Zephyr, to Christchurch for a water cremation following a service, which I’m still hoping will be held at Rangiātea.

    I want to take a moment to say thank you — to my friends, whānau, and to every single person who has donated or supported us in any way over the past week. As I’ve said before, this has been one of the hardest weeks of my life, and I know there are still more difficult days ahead.

    Your kindness and aroha mean more to me than I can ever put into words. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
