Acknowledgements
First up, I want to thank my firstborn, the overwhelming love for whom was the inspiration for this book. I know, Agathe's child died, so that sounds messed up, but hear me out. For a significant time after my daughter's birth, the genuine fear of screwing up sent me into a daunting phase of postnatal anxiety. It was exploring that fear, and writing this book, that helped me move through that part of my life. And thus The Last Heartbeat was born.
So, to Ms. A, you’ll always be my first baby, the one who taught me how to “mum”. To Mr. A, you’ll always be the last baby, and therefore the “forever” baby, and I’ll never let you forget it. Sorry, Dude! Either way, my hugs will never dry out for either one of you. X
I can’t go on without thanking my husband, also a Mr. A. Wit
