TRIGGER WARNING: pregnancy, pregnancy loss miscarriage & infertility
*****
We have kept something very precious very quiet for a very long time.

Pregnancy loss and infertility can be profoundly lonely. There often isn’t much space in the world to grieve babies you never got to bring home, or the future you had already started imagining. Life keeps moving around you. People get pregnant. Babies are born. And you’re somehow expected to keep participating in a world that can feel like a constant reminder of what you’ve lost.

The world does not accept that you are still a parent, and nothing prepares you for leaving the hospital without your baby, or returning to pick up their ashes. Yet, your still expected to return to work the next day, put a smile on your face, and go through the postpartum hormone drop with no support.
