Mending my nets

Mending my nets is a blog written by Ella as she navigates the world after baby loss. This is a space to share what life looks like now, as a bereaved mother waiting to go to the sea again.

Hello, I’m Ella

I came across the quote ‘When fishermen can’t go to the sea, they mend their nets’ weeks after my firstborn baby girl died. I knew immediately how this perspective gave my grief a home.

I am learning how to be a freshly minted mother, without a baby to look after.

As a fisher(woman) with only broken nets and storm clouds in sight, it is time to start mending.
