What a masterfully written, heart-wrenching tale. We struggled for 6 years with infertility and failed adoptions before we had the 1st of our 4 children. While we haven’t ever lost a child to death, we’ve had plenty of experience trying to be joyful while at happy occasions for others while our hearts were breaking. Well done.
I'm so glad you were finally able to have the children you so much wanted, Jason. My best friend struggled with this as well. I'll be attending her daughter's wedding in May (COVID permitting). The loss of a child is beyond my capability to truly fathom. It's devastating.
I could definitely relate. Well presented.
Thanks, Karen. I know what this story conjures for you. 💕🤗💕
I felt Baby Shower Blues in my heart.
It's odd how sometimes, as one writes a particular story, they just know how powerful it is. This story really affected me as I wrote it.
Excellent, I was right.there. Crying!
Thank you, Connie. 🥰
Wow, that one was heavy. I felt the last paragraph in the pit of my stomach. Powerful story, Dascha!
Thanks, Justin.
Warmth and caring I believe is the first true step toward healing. Beautiful story ❤
Thank you, Laura. Life can be so complicated at times. But real love cuts through all of it.

It is sad that one person's joy can be another's person's heartbreak. Life is cruel at times. Thankfully, each day is a new beginning.
Yes! And thankfully unselfish love can cross divides that might otherwise separate us.
