Sarah

After my first baby was stillborn, I didn’t think that I’d survive. It was his due date a few weeks ago; he would have been 3. I now have a 2-year old and a 7-month old, and my life is fuller than I ever would have imagined or believed, but there will always be a place in our family for him.

When we were deepest in grief, what has been mentioned here (food, therapy, reading, puzzles, baking TV shows) were all so helpful. As is saying their baby’s name, and remembering the important dates in years to come.

Something else that was so meaningful was friends who would just be there with us. Sitting with us in our deep and messy grief. Crying with us.

Sending strength and love to your sister and her husband, and your family.
