I had a full term stillborn and never think of it as losing a child. Maybe denial or maybe the hierarchy of grief. Please let us know how we can help Laura and Isaiah and Auroya.
Sending so much love to Laura, Laura, Adriana and Nick. I’m a bereaved mom of 22 years. Time and community keep you moving forward but you are forever changed. Currently grieving the grandchildren that never will be.
My husband lost his best friend to a drunk driver 11 years ago-- his mother posted that yesterday would have been his 40th birthday. She too lost a child. My husband and I bonded in that My friend passed away from suicide when she was 16-- another woman, her mother who passed a month and a day to my own mother's death, she too lost a child. My mother's 4 year anniversary of her death is today.
I cannot imagine the intense pain of that but I pray and pray for those who have for a smile to at least one more time grace their faces. But I was just reading a new substack I signed up for-- again, about losing a child.
I just can't imagine the pain. I can't even fathom how much that could hurt and how to even be able to move on, go on from that. But, I empathize and I share my support to those who have, lost a child. Sending love and hugs.

Love your compassionate writing. Read the Nick Cave link and I’m going to be thinking about that for a while.
This was like a knife in the heart.
