You can quote me anytime, as long as I can quote you. :)<BR/><BR/>I'm truly heartened whenever a fellow babylost mama shares reflections like these on pregnancy and birth. Helps me to feel so much more normal.. I don't need any more self-loathing. Certainly don't need the guilt of making people uncomfortable while drumming up the energy to grieve and be grateful at the same time.<BR/><BR/>Not many people untouched by loss can truly understand... especially anyone passionate about birth. I've found it to be an almost impossible chasm to cross. But there's only one way to have it fade, if it ever does: to talk about it, to not feel shame in it. To stare at it straight in the face, and name it for what it is (normal), in the hopes that it passes or fades with time. And to never apologize for it.<BR/>xosweetsalty katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15822876211091242851noreply@blogger.com
