A sacred place of remembering and becoming. These are stones I stack in gratitude — for the help that came, the mercy that carried, and the beauty that continues to bloom amidst sorrow.

Day 4

07/11/2015

When I went to bed last night, I thanked God.

But this morning when I woke up, I had to remind myself of the truth:
Baby is gone.
I am not pregnant.

Michael and I went for a drive this morning. The sun was bright. Everything was so green and so beautiful. The world is still beautiful.

I finished baby’s journal, unsubscribed to Baby Bump emails, and I checked some of my messages. And then, I didn’t feel brave anymore. I didn’t feel strong. I went back to the guest bedroom and lay in the dark in my husband’s arms, drained and weak and broken while the sun continued to shine.

Today, I feel more lost than ever.

  2. The steps you took today were so brave. The apps and the emails being gone will help until you need them again one day. You will absolutely get through this. I'm so happy you are blogging about what seems to be the unspoken event of so many. Keep trucking.
