4 Years ago was the worst day of my life, and somehow I lived through the trauma, and now here I am. I have my health, a few good friends, a big, crazy and loving family, a great husband and a daughter who will never know how big of an impact she has made on me.
4 Years ago they told me time would heal my heart. I'm here to tell you your heart never heals, but rather it hardens as an open wound, and everyone around you who truly love you, helps you glue the broken pieces back together.
Life after loss looks a little different. You may feel more resentment, anger and longing, but these are all okay. Allow yourself to feel whatever comes natural, because losing your baby wasn't natural and we need to allow ourselves some grace.
Disconnect from people who no longer serve you, let them go and thank them for not showing up. They will, no doubt, show you you're stronger without them. Connect with the people who do still show up. Keep them close, they are a rare breed.
Recognize your fortune once the storm has cleared and be thankful for it all. For what was once a mere hopeful dream, has become a lesson for the ages. When the whole world has forgotten, you can speak them into existence. For as long as my heart beats, Milo's memory will remain alive. 4 years gone, but never gone from my heart 💙
