"I wish I could tell you how time passes regardless. How nothing is permanent. How much that feels like an overwhelming relief and an overbearing grief all at once"
Beautiful The words I wish I had heard during my lonely maternity leave and still nearly 8 years later gives me anxiety to think about; recently discovering I’m probably autistic has created an opening of grief for that version of me even more. xxx
Zoe, this has made me really emotional. It’s so beautiful and truthful ❤️ none of my children are babies or even close to babies but I still feel so much of this, viscerally. Thank you ❤️
Thank you. I needed to hear these loving words. I needed to remember it’s not just hard for me but all of us. We are being failed by systems that devalue life and the care of life. And yet, there is still love. Breaking through those impenetrable walls as gently and determinedly as a small stream or blooming vine. 🦋
Omggggggg 😭 I’ve never ever even for a moment felt so SEEN. Thank you ❤️
