How do we heal from loss? When Nicky lost Kim, she was heard and supported and she found meaning, expression and autonomy around her trauma.


In order to find our healing, we need to come back to that sensing within us of things feeling aligned or dissonant. It’s a brave thing to do when you’ve suffered or have feelings that you imagine will be unbearable and consume you. But being connected with the moment. As Nicky is when she’s taking photographs brings peace.

“Break the taboo, talk about it, everyone knows someone who has suffered a loss, its more common than everyone thinks and it’s a topic we need to get more comfortable with because it is a reality affecting more families every single day.”

Nicky lives in Derbyshire with her husband and they have two grown up children. Their stillborn daughter Kim is the reason for Nicky’s passion for remembrance photography. She previously volunteered for Sands, a bereavement support charity, and is determined to see Remembrance Photography offered as a choice to parents as widely as possible across the UK.
