In our lives, we are faced with many challenges, but perhaps one of the greatest must be the death of a baby. This is a challenge that has been faced on more than one occasion by Cheryl and Andy Peachey, and now Cheryl has written an account of their journey from their first meeting to the present time - their life today with their three healthy, lively children, Jordyn, Lochlyn and Kaitlyn. This is a most poignant and moving true life story, written from the heart, which will no doubt provide inspiration and hope to others who find themselves in a similar position. Inclusion of items on this website does not normally imply any form of approval, but in this case I feel compelled to make an exception; I would thoroughly recommend it, not only for the fact that sales will benefit S.A.N.D.S., but for the courage Cheryl has shown in writing of their traumatic experiences, that others may gain inspiration and comfort.

Soul Mates: Blessed by Little Angels by Cheryl Peachey
"January 5th 2001 , was a day that will be stamped in my mind forever. For it was the day in which my dreams shattered into a million pieces at the devastating and unnecessary loss of my beautiful angel son Keiryn. It is only now, years later, that I am able to tell my story, and whilst I can never really forgive those involved for the mistakes made during and after my pregnancy, I am, with time, learning to rebuild my life, so that I can remember Keiryn in a positive light, one which brings love and warmth whenever I talk about him and the impact he made on so many members of our family, friends and health professionals. My deeply emotionally roller-coaster journey took me to the realms I never believed existed, and despite losing three of Keiryns siblings as well, I know that I have grown from these setbacks both personally and spiritually. And as I look back and recall how through gritty detirmination, I rallied for changes to the local hospital, there is no doubt in my mind that Keiryn's spirit lives on, for together we achieved these changes and now, whenever I look at my three beautiful live children, I am well aware that Keiryn has helped to rebuild my dreams and in doing so, has made me a much stronger person."
