Today is the National Day of Remembrance for pregnancy and infant loss. Everyone has a story to tell and that story is significant to them. Don't hold in your feelings. Other people may not understand for one reason or another. Maybe they have never experienced the loss of a child, maybe they have and just don't know how to grieve, and just maybe they know exactly how you are feeling. No matter what stage of pregnancy you have made it through, your child is not here. I never got to meet my Abijah but he is still my child. I miss him EVERY SINGLE day. So today, remember your child and remember that it is okay to grieve. Don't let anyone take that away from you. Your heart feels broken because it is broken. Your feelings are normal.
I write this because there are a lot of people out there who felt like they could never really grieve, like it wasn't okay to. After all, it was "just a miscarriage". It is NEVER "just a miscarriage". It was a baby, who died, that we will never meet on this earth. So know that you can talk about it and you should. I have been blessed with people who have let me talk about Abijah whenever I want. Whether you have miscarried or not, could you be that person today? Be the person who shares their story or just be willing to listen to someone's story.
Please join me in praying for these babies and their families.
