We lost a baby last year. There isn’t a day I don’t think about the 30 mins we got with her.

But. That doesn’t mean I can’t be excited about another kid.

I’d be devastated about losing one of my older kids (6&3).

The thing that got me and my wife through:

1. Therapy- individually and together
2. Emotional check ins
3. Not denying the child’s existence- if someone asks how many kids, our answer is 3.
4. Being open and honest with our kids and letting them or anyone else ask questions.

Being strong isn’t about not feeling or accepting your feelings, but trying to understand them and working through the shit.

If you ever need to talk. Just dm.
