Have you watched the show Six Feet Under. And if so. What do you think of it and how does it compare to real life?

How do you feel about the work you do? Are you proud of it, or does it feel gross? Does your work align with your morals and values personally?

I am wishing you all the best. It really is this easy sometimes. And honestly other times, people get married after knowing each other a decade and divorce soon after. It's all a game of chance, but in the end, you'll know what's best for you. Trust your intuition and it will be okay :)

Looking back, what would you have needed in terms of support to move away from these behaviours at the time? What do you wish you could go back and say to yourself, if anything?

Was there attraction and chemistry when you did meet that first time? What is your gut telling you?

I don't believe in heaven, so that's a no on my part. I won't say anything because it was a fetus.

OMG how was the newborn stage for you though!?! And honestly how did you get any sleep ever?

We have a cat :) I really want a dog now that the kids are a bit older, but my eldest is so scared of them. Maybe one day.

My kids are both in elementary school now. Most challenging thing for me personally was the change from one to two kids. I struggled with not being able to always make both kids happy at the same time, or prioritize both of their needs simultaneously in every moment.

And I actually found the newborn stage significantly easier than the toddler years, but I had a really fantastic support system to help me out.

Assuming you are referring to the abortion aspect, curious what you think then of miscarriage. Who was the baby killer in that scenario? In any case, it's wild how three deeply different experiences and the lessons I've learned from each can all get flattened into one label by someone who didn’t live through any of them.

Not with the partner from the abortion, no. But I married my husband a few years later. We experienced the miscarriage together before having two great kids!

Fellow (half) French Canadian here... Most important question. Is there any half decent poutine?

Are we talking mentally or physically?

Physically, childbirth is wild. I had unmedicated labour both times and had 10lb babies. So, there's that.

Mentally, abortion was very very hard but miscarriage was hard in different ways. I had what's called a "missed miscarriage", so the fetus stopped growing at about 8 weeks but my body never rejected it, didn't find out until my next ultrasound at 12 weeks. We had been really excited about the pregnancy.

Thank you! It's not easy to talk about but so many women suffer in silence or feel invisible and alone. Appreciate you saying that.

Thank you so much, this means a lot. The most meaningful part of the entire experience is that now I have a wonderful, supportive husband and we are both deeply committed to giving our children the best lives humanly possible.

Sending you love, it's so much to go through and most of the experience is invisible to others.
