Parents of lost babies and potential of all kinds: come here to share the technicolour, the vividness, the despair, the heart-broken-open, the compassion we learn for others, having been through this mess — and see it reflected back at you, acknowledged and understood.

Thanks to photographer Xin Li and to artist Stephanie Sicore for their respective illustrations and photos.

for one and all > Rough Day TW-Rape

It’s been a rough day, which is an understatement. The only thing that my brain can focus on is the loss of my child. That child was mine but not my choice to have. I didn’t want that baby in me. I didn’t want him in me. I just wanna stop thinking about it.

Katelyn, I am so so sorry. If I could, I would hold you in my arms and weep with you for all the trauma and grief you have experienced. But since I can't physically hold you I will hold you in my heart and prayers. Please know that others also grieve with you. You are not alone.
