Story

The Butterfly Walkway Porirua

This is a memorial pathway, a place where we can remember and create happy memories of our babies and children who have passed away.

My Daughter Lilly has taken me on a journey I will never be ready for.

Learning to live in a world where child loss is a real thing, not just something that happens to other people.

My Lilly was able to be a part of the original Butterfly walkway in Nelson, it is such a beautiful and happy memorial that I wanted to bring it to Wellington.

The lovely folk at Porirua City Council agreed and we are working together to make it a reality.

The pathway shows the life cycle of a Butterfly.

Where it begins as a egg, hatches into a caterpillar and then spreads its wings as a beautiful butterfly.

The Egg section is for our babies who were born sleeping, carried but never met.

The Caterpillar section is for our infants who were held but could not come home and stay.

The butterfly section is for our Children who came home but could not stay.

I look forward to updating you all as we start to create memories of our babies and children.

Warm hugs
