I wrote this one year ago and want to share it with you today:
Tonight I listened to a woman who I deeply respect share her story with a group of women.
She spoke of many big events throughout her life, but the ones that stood out to me were the children she had lost during pregnancies. Multiple children.
She called these events the moments she used to mark time.
😳
And I felt that. And if you have ever experienced infertility or loss of pregnancy or loss of child, you felt it, too.
Today is Infant Loss Awareness Day and since 2014, it has been a very important day to me, because there are so many women right now, all around us, living in “moments they will use to mark time“.
So many times in the throes of it, it feels like there is only Before and During. But this woman courageously shared with us that there is also an After.
So today if you are in one of those moments, I hope you can find strength in knowing that even though this moment will forever be part of your story, there is in fact an After. ❤️
