Today, I’m holding space for the mommas that didn’t get the birth experience that they had hoped, planned, and prayed for.
It’s so easy for outsiders to say, “at least you and baby are healthy” and although when you boil it down, that’s the ultimate goal, it doesn’t change the disappointment. It doesn’t change the unrealized desires. It doesnt change the forever birth story that they aren’t excited to share.
I’ve learned, in many life circumstances, that grief and joy can coexist. We grieve the experience we wish we had and have relentless joy that we get to hold our miracles in our arms.
So for the mommas that hold their grief and joy, while simultaneously holding their babies; I see you 💗
