Oh boy this one cut deep.... 🌈💧❤️

"I’m scared to attach to him or her because I don’t want my heart to get broken again. I sometimes catch myself creating a suit of armor around my heart as a way of protecting me from the pain that comes from loving and losing."

@PMccoubrie Sometimes I do miss PET/CT. I used to do it all the time @OUHospitals, and it really made me happy when we could see a response like that. Once a 23y had a surprise crew waiting outside, none knew the results but it was just beautiful to see the interaction. Made me tear up! 🙈

@PMccoubrie I've never seen one of these. Thank you for sharing, beautiful case.

Our animation shows how one couple found support after a missed miscarriage, when they were trying to cope with the physical loss as well as the loss of their hopes for the future.

Pregnancy loss is different for everyone who experiences it. However you feel, you are not alone.

This was me in 2018. Not 1 year later I was starting my job at the NBT. When I left OUH, my now husband gave me a mug with the words "Remember why you started". The mug is broken, but I haven't changed my desktop background since @NorthBristolNHS.

@PMccoubrie When you sacrifice your porrigde for a hungry toddler and then it's 9.30am and you are ready take your memos with a pinch of salt.

[Raquel Menezes @RaquelMenezes91]

@PMccoubrie Something like that!

This little fella decided to follow me home and take a little rest on my TV stand. For a moment there I don't know who was scared slash surprised the most. I won't tell you about the fun I had trying to convince him to go back to our garden......... 🐦🪶 Gotta love Nature ❤️

And finally, what a pleasure to seat with our Chair, Michele Romaine, who has kindly offered words of widsom (and a gin and tonic!)! The first photographer was fired on the spot, we will bury those 🤭 Thank Michele, it was lovely to meet you in person! #NBTStaffAwards
