Made me reflect on the 3 babies I never got to meet. They still mean something special and personal to me. I know they existed and where born into heaven. Namaste.

I have and it was my son, also. I understand your pain and heartache. Sending you peace and love.

I’m walking through this now. I lost my daughter 10 days ago to a cord prolapse in labor. The grief is devastating.

[@sikolflow]

Adilee, I am so sorry for the pain you must bear now. I understand that pain and grief. My son was murdered five years ago and I still feel that grief every day, but I have also found some peace. Our situations are different, but yet still the same. We both lost something so precious it can never be replaced. I send you my peace and love in hopes that it will help you on your own grief journey.

[@1019jen]

I hope you are doing well friend.

[@WorldOfNicky]

I hope that through this heartbreak and grief, you’ve found moments of peace and beauty. I send you love ❤ how are you doing now, 3 years since your comment

[@Colorado_Avocado]

People aren’t talking about it because Americans don’t want to. They have no idea of what to do with grief.
