⚓️ could use the support of women who really “get it”

⚓️ would benefit from the guidance of a licensed mental health clinician on communication with your ex, co-parenting, or helping your children understand divorce

⚓️ know you should be taking better care of 👋🏽 YOU👋🏽

Grief deck wisdom. 💖

Valentine's Day is usually a day of tender-heartedness for me. Eleven years ago today, I miscarried my daughter.

I was absolutely shocked. I felt ashamed of my body for failing my child.

I felt really, really alone.

I didn't know it could happen to me. And when it did, I found that people didn't know how to support me. They said things that comforted them, but not me. I felt lost.

Eleven years later, I still grieve. But healing is not linear, I remind myself. I know this well... I have a degree in healing.

But today, my heart hurts. So I practice staying present to my grief. It is the reflection of my love. The two intersect in loss, their joining is a unique experience of the body.

So, I meditate. I place my hands on my heart and my belly. I listen to music. I snuggle with my cat. Because grief is visceral.

And so is love.

Well this article choked me up— it speaks so well to the imperative many women feel to be pregnant again after a loss, and all the emotions that can surface with a rainbow baby. 🌈

“I’m pregnant with my rainbow baby,” she whispered. “And I feel so guilty.”
