Little Star – A song I wrote on Father’s Day 2023 after losing our son the year prior. As a father I decided to produce it as part of my own healing journey and to honour and recognise our son. Maybe it will resonate with others of you who have experienced the grief of losing a child or a loved one. We’ve made it available to download as a charity single for your listening pleasure or use as a backing track in recognition of your own loss and just ask that a donation of any amount is made to Sands New Zealand via this Givealittle page when downloading.

All donations are directly passed on to Sands New Zealand via Givealittle. Sands New Zealand is a voluntary, parent-run, non-profit organisation set up to support parents and families who have experienced the death of a baby at any stage during pregnancy, as a baby or infant.

(All performed and produced by Ant and Cherise Backhouse-Wilson in memory of our son Iluka. Inspired by the gifts and support we received by those around us at the time.)
