Matilda Mae Remembers

Last year I dragged myself hour by hour through February

I spent a lot of time writing Tilda’s funeral

As I heave myself through this February

Hour by hour

I am spending a lot of time

Writing and planning Matilda Mae Remembers

On the first of March 2014

St David’s Day

We are inviting bereaved parents, siblings and families to come together

To remember all babies in the sky

This is not a service focused only on Tilda

It is a memorial service for anyone who has lost a baby

However that may be, at whatever stage of pregnancy, infancy or childhood

We invite you to come together with us and remember

The service will be held at St Mary’s Church in Kennington, Ashford

At 11.00am

Afterwards we will be going to The Conningbrook Hotel, Kennington, Ashford

Where people are welcome to join us

There will be a creche in the hall next to the church

Supported by the wonderful Beebies Baby Store

The order of service will be printed online along with copies of the music being played

So if you cannot make the church you can still be part of the service

We will be using the hashtag #mmremembers

As another way for people to be involved

If you can make the church

You will hear poems, songs, Bible readings and personal stories

You might even get to watch Noggin’ the Nog!

You can find all the information that you need right here

All you need to do is turn up on the day

The first few rows of seats in the church will be reserved for readers and speakers

To ensure that the service runs smoothly

Apart from that you can sit wherever you choose

This is not only remembering Matilda Mae

The service is inspired by her

It is using Matilda Mae to help us all remember others

The sky is too full of angels

And I want to shout their names out loud!

I hope that you might come and join us.

  1. I hope the service yesterday was everything you wanted it to be?
    My little family was fortunate to be invited to the christening of the baby son of some dear friends of ours yesterday – a very different service to the one your family was attending. But even in that sun filled church in Central London Matilda Mae was at work as the priest (slightly surprisingly) asked the congregations to include in their prayers all those babies lost to us. I was already thinking of you (as I often do) but I offered up an extra little Tilda prayer at that point – just one of many yesterday I am sure. X
