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.

Happy 4th birthday Aarti. I love you and I miss you. I’m sorry you aren’t here with me, daddy and your siblings celebrating your birthday. I’m sorry I didn’t keep you safe in my tummy. I’m sorry baby.

Aarti's mom - I'm a little late, but I hope you had a peaceful day for your angel. Did you do anything for Aarti on that day?
