For the mothers who have lost a child
For the child who has lost a mother
When the phrase “Happy Mother’s Day”
Is uttered…
There comes a choke of pain
Behind the smiling,
“Thank you”
And hallmark can speak for those who live with us
As I cry with those
❤

I am so sorry, I know this heart wrenching.
My daughter~Isabelle
She was seven months old
When the universe took her away

Into a spirit, that would never be the same.
I am so sorry you share this nightmare. I still have nights when I wake up shaking and terrified.

Thank you for not leaving her. My (ex) husband was not the man you are.
I have recently started EMDR and it has been very hard but at the same time the first resemblance of healing I have had in seven years.
You both are close to my heart.

the night
our baby died
I dreamt I left my wife
a wave of freedom
euphoria washed over me
~
I awoke beside my wife
on her darkest night
and felt so guilty
disgusting
filthy
~
I promised myself
to be there for her
shifting thoughts
~
M or W
turning around one letter
changing my focus
from ME to WE

Wow- that is extremely profound and beautiful.
I have wished to escape myself many many times.
The M turned to a W.
The depth of that brings tears to my heart. Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
