We still hang her stocking

I want our living child to know that her sister's spirit is with her for her lifetime. That she may not be physically present, but her existence matters and she is loved beyond measure.

Life

My daughter was stillborn and life will never be the same

I still can't comprehend our grief. We were told losing our baby to a "cord accident" was rare. It was like a car crash; no one could predict when or why or how or the impact. It just...happened. But it still doesn't make it fair. It doesn't lessen the shock. It doesn't bring our daughter back.

Life

Miscarriage is lonely, but you are not alone

It is physically horrible, emotionally draining, mentally unbearable, and turns your world upside down. But other mamas in my life (including my own mother) who opened up to me and told me about their experiences demonstrated a breathtaking sense of bravery and resilience.

Life

To the woman who called me cruel as I held my dying child

Through those tears you can see so much love; two parents proud of the little baby that touched their lives in a profound way.
