I was finally feeling what Sophie was feeling. I could understand the level of emotion that was running through her body as I too was now experiencing it.
LGBT Baby Loss | They Matter, You Matter

On the Due Date of the Baby We Miscarried
Today, is our due date. The due date of the baby we miscarried in summer, of our flicker of hope, of our little Robin. I didn't actually remember until mid morning.

The Rambling Thoughts of Fertility Treamtent After Loss
During our last cycle, I wrote. Not publically, but I still needed to write. I needed to dump all the thoughts, anxieties and what ifs somewhere.
