'We used to be alone, but not anymore.'
We used to be alone, but not anymore." - Those were the words of one mother as grieving families affected by the Shropshire maternity scandal came together to lay flowers in memory of their loved ones.Reverend Charlotte Cheshire, of Newport, and maternity expert Donna Ockenden at Shrewsbury Abbey
Ms Ockenden said:"It was really moving, very poignant. I'm pleased to see so many families coming together today. We invited all the families involved in the review. We knew not everyone would want to come, but people could come if they wished to. But this visit offered a more fulsome opportunity for people to meet and show solidarity with one another.
Steph, who lost her daughter Sophiya 32 hours after she was born in 2014, added:"I think it's important to have that network because not everyone understands how you feel. It was lonely. We used to be alone, but not anymore."
