Losing a child is an eye-opening experience.
Something I NEVER considered. That babies sometimes die. It's thrust front & center into your line of vision. For some reason, maybe by your doing and maybe not, there's a litany of grief, pain, and tears of heartbroken mommies and daddies never far from your mind.
Babies sometimes die. That's a horrible, tragic reality for so many.
But so many of these people still have hope. They've never struggled to get pregnant. How wonderful it must be to know, when they're ready, they can try again. And succeed.
Leila was my miracle. 4 years in the making. I'm at the cusp of losing my ability to conceive due to advanced maternal age.
So I'm jealous of these families. Yes, they have lost a baby. And it's nothing to make light of.
But they have not lost hope.
